👉 A large, dark plain, which may have the appearance of a sea.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me, We’re going to explore a word for you to see! “Maria,” it says in the dictionary bright, Describes a landscape bathed in dim moonlight. It's not a sea of water, cool and blue, But a dark plain, a view quite new. Think of craters on the moon so grand, Or vast deserts, across the land! A large, dark space, with shadows deep, That looks like ocean, secrets to keep. It's called "maria," Latin’s gentle plea, Meaning “seas” in ancient history! They named these plains because they seemed so wide, Like the oceans of our lunar stride. So remember this, my little scholars true, "Maria" means a dark plain, for me and you! Do you have any questions? Let's discuss with glee!
