Premium Member Hebridean Summer
The grey skies shift to blue, and now a breeze
is heralding a longed-for transformation.
With rainbow colours Mother Earth is blessed 
and all the islands of the west caressed, reborn.
Sweet Summer knows no storm....

Premium Member Perfectly Formed
Perfectly formed in a challenging terrain,
low and squat they lie and ever-ready
to shrug off Hebridean wind and rain
with weathered roofs and walls rock-steady.
In days of yore, a refuge from the storm,
now picturesque, and just a bit forlorn....

Premium Member Starry Night
The moonlit ocean murmurs to the stars.
In drowsy rhythm, wavelets lap the strand.
They whisper tales of places near and far
and songs that have been sung since time began.
It’s here that you and I, who’ve sailed the seven seas,
have found our piece of heaven, in the Hebrides....

He 
Said
Words could
Not express
Scottish Hebrides
Outer banks, only music could 
Mendelssohns' Violin Concerto in A Minor
Expresses the beauty, wind, barreness, the sand, waves, the castles, the 
vegetation all

loved this land.)...

Premium Member Where Sea and Sky Hold Sway
They gleam and shimmer in the perfect light
of paradise, known to the ancient gods 
as hallowed refuge, where the stars at night
pay homage from on high, and from the west
come ocean flower breezes, to a land
where sea and sand and sky hold boundless sway
and pastel multi-hues embrace the day,
where gentle rhythms echo on the shore
and birds exultant in the heavens soar.
These priceless pearls, set in silvered seas,
known to mere mortals as The Hebrides....
