If Once You Have Slept On An Island Comments

nice write, I enjoyed the read.

You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew, But you'll see blue water and wheeling gulls Wherever your feet may go... dreams of an island life beautiful. tony

Yes, there is a magic when detached from the mainland. Nautical images haunt you, as Rachel skilfully puts it. A pleasant and meaningful poem. RJF

so if you have slept by the pure heart on island of the love you can discover the true nature of all......./// impressive poem

Tidy, well-reasoned poem with lots of atmosphere. Good contrast between 'then' and 'now.' I remember it from HS

Lovely and delightful poem, I enjoyed reading it very much!
