THE ALLEYNIAN 708 | OUT OF THE ORDINARY

PeterHeller Year8 HotelNature CREATIVE WRITING

The lush green carpet of a luxury hotel, The smooth emerald sheets of the bed, The cantaloupe goldfish in a crystalline pool, In the lobby.

The plethora of delicacies on the snow-white tablecloth, A waterfall glides in the tranquil spa, The paths around the landscape are outdoor gyms, It is bewitching.

Welcome to Hotel Nature, Where we’re the honoured guests, But the owners have been forced out, And we have taken charge.

Hideous rubbish litters the hallways, The gleaming jade is now an atrocious brown, The darting fish have mouths full of plastic, The food is rotting on naked tables.

The water in the spa is stagnant, The gym is choked with weeds, Hotel Nature’s barely surviving, Its future is up to us.
