My Pacific Ocean Island

There is an island
In the Pacific ocean
Surrounded by blues
In various motions

The blue of the water
Reflects from the sky
Turquoise and dark
Either makes me sigh

With mountains of lush green
In sloping canvas
Varieties aplenty
Trees and grasses

Species so different
Grace this land
Where they have thrived for years
As it has never been manned

Golden beaches
Glitter her coast
Where the blue waves caress
Its where i sigh the most

Coconut palm trees
Figs, berries and roots
In glorious harvest
Natures fine fruits

Please close your eyes
And join me there
As you open your eyes
All you can do is stare

Where is this island
Do you all want to hear
Its in the Pacific Ocean
Oh how i wish i was near

The wind chill here is -16 and your poem took some of the chill out of the air! Thank you for your comments on my poem "Lessons". It's been too long since I've been here, to many things going on, and looks like we are going to have to move, so packing during the holidays will keep me busy, please don't forget me, I will be in and out as I can. Love you all, Trudy

Sounds intriguing to join you there. Would that be close to California or Japan? Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara

Hawaii. That's the island this made me think of and the only one I had a chance to go to. Which one did you have in mind? Very nice write, James. It was easy to picture the beauty of the island. Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Caroline.

It is always such a pleasure to read your descriptive writes. They never disappoint and allow me to visit somewhere else for a while.

What an exotic paradise you describe, James! South Pacific" is one of my favorite plays and it is set near the island of Bali, quite a lovely place. (Check out the tune "Bali Hai" on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81NROmUb7o0 It's enchanting and the video is great too.) This is the type of place about which I often dream of spending the rest of my life in tune with nature. Excellent! Love you, Carolyn
