I must look up Ruth Gilbert's Samoan series, Harvey, we went to Samoa 13 years ago and I find I keep falling back into it for poetry and imagine a number of them now... Maggie - oh if only I could have another Pacific holiday NOW, and AJ - think I'd rather have it for real. But thanks (-:Mary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-37458819277999331182010-10-26T22:23:31.092+13:002010-10-26T22:23:31.092+13:00Like going on a wee tropical holiday without leavi...Like going on a wee tropical holiday without leaving the computer.

You have a matching pair of poems here that are great.<br />Ruth Gilbert years ago wrote a series about Samoa that I thought caught the flavour of those unique islands. You've done the same.<br />Harveyharveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635635962581840889noreply@blogger.com
