Your brief loving description sold me about wanting to go there, Paul. I went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and I fell in love and would move there in a heartbeat. As for the poem "Gazelle" it is fiction, sad to say. But I remember moving to a new place when I was thirteen. And the school I went to that year, there were these two beautiful twin girls whose house was right across the street. I would sit in class and watch them. That is the inspiration for the poem. Love you always.

There are many places I'd like to go to, Freddie, and several that I'd like to revisit because of their attraction and the people I meet. Your 'Gazelle" is one of your best! Regards // paul

Paul, this sounds heavenly, I imagine it's gorgeous. All I can think of when I hear Malta is Popeye & Olive Oyl. :)

Thank you Paloma! I suppose we all see beauty in our home countries:) Yes....the movie Popeye was filmed in Malta; nowadays the film set is being used as a local and tourist attraction...very popular. Regards // paul

You are in a beautiful location Paul. I would love to visit your island one day. Islands have a majestic charm which you have so wonderfully expressed in your poem. ; ) 7

That would be lovely, Connie:) We do not have mountains and rivers, but there are other things that make up for it! Thank you for the 7 and 'wonderful' comments. Regards // paul

Thank you for liking, Chris:) Unfortunately we are limited in large beaches, but you'll be able to ride a horse on a couple of them in late autumn, winter or early spring when there are few people around. Regards // paul
