My name is [your name], and I'm [your age]. Now, most people my age don't believe in magic, but even the most skeptical scientists would be made to believe if they saw what i saw. It started on a rainy day in the autumn, a month into the new school year. I was on my usual walk to school, whistling a tune I heard on TV and fidgeting absentmindedly with my backpack straps when I saw up ahead a small shimmering object on the ground. I happen to collect small trinkets and the like, so I jogged over to the light and bent down to look. A small, golden pendant with a silvery feather inside. 'Someone must be devastated to have lost this,' I thought, 'It's so pretty. Perhaps I should turn it in.' I reached out to pick it up, and that's the last thing I remember before I woke up covered in sand. I spat. "What happened?" I pondered aloud. "I'm supposed to be at school." I looked at my watch. 1pm. "I'm gonna be in so much trouble," I groaned, until the fact settled in that I had a bigger problem on my hands. I got up and looked around. "Where am I?" It was a stunning tropical island, and hot enough that I had to take off my jacket... in the fall. The sand was so golden it practically sparkled and the water was cool and blue. I looked up to see a colorful bird flying my direction. As it got closer I started to panic- what if it bites? Is it poisonous? Can birds be poisonous? But it landed on a coconut on the ground in front of me- a rainbow macaw, as I could now see it to be- and spoke. "Hey! Squack! I'm [parrot name], and this island is called [island name]. Welcome to your new vacation home!"

Answer and Explanation:
"Islands and Icebergs" by Ralph Semino Galan is a poem about reading a poem. <u>The speaker asks readers to imagine the paper as being the ocean and the words to be floating on the that ocean. That is a clue as to why he writes three lines per stanza. The length of the lines, along with their number, reminds us of the waves, even the foam, to floats up and down, back and forth, on the ocean. The author wrote three lines per stanza as a way to make the poem itself resemble an ocean, instead of simply asking as to imagine it.</u>
