Isle of Skye by Tinka Boukes Tuesday, February 21, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

~Isle of Skye~ Mesolithic hunter-gatherers Occupants rock-sheltered Famine & clearances the latter Depleted populace no census Settlements now fossilized treasures; Sheltered coves, rows of pink Craggy ranged mountains Green fertile hills of Sleat Nature trails � ash, birch & hazel Carpets of fern, fresh-watered streams; Whitewashed cottages beneath Skye Bridge Unspoiled coastline � scenic boat trip Views of the lochs situated on a shoreline�s edge White foaming waves breaking over rocks Feast of images � memorable experience; All roads lead to roam Weather sunshine or fowl whether A distinct, individual atmosphere Ancient land, resonating heritage Last Mallaig of your journey, a golden glimmer.

"All roads lead to roam" Love that. Loved the whole poem. A bit of saddness to it, although it is not a sad piece, wonder why that is? Very good.
