Welcome to the Pacific's jewel: the Republic of Paoul,
Also known as the Pelago Commonwealth,
Our source of devotion is in the Pacific Ocean
That depends on tourism for its wealth.

To be more specific, it lies in the South Pacific,
Nestled within Micronesia, if I'm not wrong.
This small island nation has a humble population
Of only about eighteen thousand strong.

The Republic boasts five main islands at most
And a host of small ones at hand.
The capital is Ka'ai (close by to Manoi Lai)
And is founded on Rishu Island.

The true wealth of the commonwealth
Is its wide plant and animal variety
And the stunning scenery and vivid blue seas —
In particular the waters around Manoi Lai Sea.

Of particular note, I would like to vote
That we go there to that place, me bucko.
For a confirmative tale of a new species of whale
Was discovered about two or so years ago.

The republic is famous for its wilderness so tameless,
Having among the greatest biodiversities on earth,
And was recently officially recognized unconditionally
As a site of great and important ecological worth.

According to the map that's lying on your lap,
Paoul is on the southern end of Micronesia.
The Republic is close to the tropical coasts
Of New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Indonesia.

So farewell, don't miss your plane—I hope we meet again
Whenever you've got vacation time to spend.
Come back and stay if you ever return our way,
And scuba-dive with me throughout the weekend.


Author's Note: Aloha, fellow divers! No time, no see! Forgive me for the long hiatus, but life has been very demanding and I was also getting a bit tired of fanfiction and was also struggling with trying to find a theme for this EO poem. But I finally got it! Took me awhile to write this.

I had written most of this a couple months ago, but then I got stuck and decided to put it back on the shelf so that I could take a break from it - hopefully being able to get unstuck. But then I ended up forgetting about it until yesterday. I literally JUST finished with this poem today.

I decided to write a poem from a local's POV - or the PC's POV - towards a tourist(s) that he/she's talking to. I tried to make it relational and informative, as the POV character basically informs the tourist(s) about what there is to see in the Republic of Paoul - also known as the Pelago Commonwealth.

Most of this information was from the help of the Endless Ocean Wiki, which helped me be able to form a decent poem from this. I hope you guys enjoy this poem and like and review and tell me what you think.

P.S. - I'm not sure how often I'm going to be writing fanfiction - especially for Endless Ocean - as I'd like to write for my other fandoms that I'm in. I might post fanfiction maybe twice every month or two. At least for this year and maybe a little bit of next year. Also, I'm going to be pretty busy for the rest of this Summer and Fall trying to write some books so that I can earn an income. Sadly, writing fanfiction can't be a legitimate occupation. Oh well. lol ;-)

Happy Swimming!
