Poetry Feature: KOROR STATE

K nown as the heart of Palau
O ften taken for granted by
R eason of wealth --
O nly state with continuously
R ising potential.


S treamingly with countless prospects displaying the
T raditions, culture, and the people of Palau
A ccessing the beauty of its cultural wealth and sharing it with
T he rest of the world --
E nabling international communication.

Poetry Month Feature: Palau's Beauty

In celebration of National Poetry Month, see the following featured poem:

Palau's Beauty

Palauans have a passion for dancing.

Behind each dance is a story

They’re known for their loud chanting

Their waters are their pride and glory

It’s a home to many a people

They take pride in the land they own

The bells ring in the village steeple

The happiness in their faces are shown.

(c) Sierra Diaz

Dededo, Guam

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE:  Stand up and take pride in who you are!
