The Island Of Fuerteventura Poem by Annette Aitken
The Island Of Fuerteventura
Island
Sitting watching the waves crash against the rocks
where the sea greets the land.
The water exploring every nook and cranny
kissing and embracing the rocks violently.
Head swirling with thoughts of one day returning
to set up life on this barren yet beautiful Island
with its rocky cliff tops, desert sands.
Unforgiving mountains once covered with raging lava.
Wild chipmunks living amidst the blackened boulders
where locals and holidaymakers feed them freely.
Fishermen perched precociously on the ragged rocks
dipping their fishing lines in the deep hoping to catch dinner.
All walks of life running or walking along the cliff path
exercising, keeping their bodies in good shape
Some are young and beautiful,
others with skin like leather from the sun.
Life on the Island can be peaceful and tranquil
if that's what you're looking for.
i'll go to live anywhere where there are dessert sands! ! ! ! chocolate i hope. or did you mean dessert stands? 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 those 0's were supposed to be - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 's Precociously? maybe. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - pre·co·cious prəˈkōSHəs/ adjective adjective: precocious (of a child) having developed certain abilities or proclivities at an earlier age than usual. he was a precocious, solitary boy synonyms: advanced for one's age, forward, mature, gifted, talented, clever, intelligent, quick; informalsmart some of the boys were extremely precocious antonyms: backward (of behavior or ability) indicative of early development. a precocious talent for computing (of a plant) flowering or fruiting earlier than usual. ============================= but, maybe precariously? ? ? ?
