In the Black Sea, so wild and free,
There lies an island, known as Snake, you see.
With waters blue and skies so bright,
It's a place of wonder and pure delight.
A Greek temple once stood tall and grand,
To honor Achilles, a hero so grand.
In ancient times, it was a sight to behold,
A place of worship, stories untold.
With under 30 people, it's a tiny place,
But they call it home, with a smiling face.
Bile, the village, was founded with care,
To show the world that people live there.
Once a border dispute caused quite a fuss,
Between Romania and Ukraine, it was a must.
But the International Court of Justice stepped in,
To define the borders, the dispute did thin.
In 2022, a warship came near,
Russian invasion, causing much fear.
But Ukraine fought back, with all their might,
And Snake Island was recaptured, shining so bright.
So let us remember this island so grand,
With its history and people, hand in hand.
Snake Island, a place of beauty and pride,
A symbol of resilience, where dreams reside.
