Isle of Skye (poem) by Tinka Boukes on AuthorsDen

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.
