Anna-Marie Docherty Poet Lyric

My Lemon-Tree Island

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Autonomous region in Sicily
Those beautiful beaches
seducing the travellers
Sicani people around 8,000 B.C.

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
the largest island in the Med sea
Greek temples and churches
to while away hours
Natural wonders a plenty

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Mount Etna craters and much legacy
Such majestic buildings
and archaeology
My lemon-tree island in Italy

Thanks for reading my poetry today. Do you live in this are you prettily described? I was thinking you are in.England Anna-Marie Docherty August 15, 2026 at 10:13 AM Yes been a while with some writes on paper but with house move/adaptation and health with all else life throws time has slipped away... sadly. For now back... Yes in UK, Wales, but English... Good to see you around, well I hope!

Ravindra K Kapoor March 30, 2019 at 9:57 AM What a superb beauty you have painted dear friend with the sweet smell of lemon, which appears to flowing from lemon trees of your selected beautiful land. The smell of Lemon always refreshes our mind and heart and soothes our soul as well. And thank you Anna for remembering me on my poem. If you are on face book please let me know I would like to be in touch like many others fb friends. With best wishes always......
