GAZE at Hills & Sea you really see it!
WHITE and large Megallanic Clouds
HORIZONTAL like a "Band of Angels"
I LOVE the Maori Culture in New Zealand
THEIR NAME : AOTEAROA used in the National Anthem
ENGLISH "New Zealand" is replaced by AOTEAROA!
COMING fresh to New Zealand, two months ago
LEAVING England, BRIAN and My Family an .....
OPTION I had to face, BUT I felt at HOME! I
USUALLY take time to settle in but AUCKLAND is
DELIGHTFUL : Everywhere THE LONG WHITE CLOUD!
Hope you enjoyed my Poem, comments please, ANGELA XXXX
I wanted to write this POEM as an Acrostic 4 5 5 Sonnet
Brians favourite poetic structure, hope he likes it? I did
warn him I wanted today's slot! Enjoy the Poem & singing
and plan to visit NZ asap. "You'll find me waiting here on
the Shore, and BRIAN will here in a few DAYS : AMEN!
I always use the background picture of ME in Pure White
looking at THE LONG WHITE CLOUD, Love ANGELA XXXX

THANKS SWEETHEART ~ You did a great job and the lines are mainly "cosyllabic" so I wouldn't change a word ! In a few more days we will be "TOGETHER AGAIN" I am pleased to leave the HEAT of ESSEX SUMMER (30+C) for the cool of AUCKLAND'S WINTER (less than 15C). Love you lots ~ hope you get lots of nice comments ~ All my LOVE BRIAN XOXOX
Thanks HONEY, pleased you liked it and NO CHANGES! This one was easier because the words (to fit the letters) just seem to come into my mind. However making each line cosyllablic posed more of a problem. So its mainly Blank Verse (cosyllabic) with a bit of Free Verse licence! I love the NZ scenary in the video, lovely. Muchos Abrazos y Besos, con todo de mi Amore, Tu Amorada ANGELA XXXX 19th Augosto conmigo por Dos Semanas : Gloria a DIOS XXXX
Thanks for sharing. I hope you and Brian have an amazing time together. You seem as though your made for each other.
Thanks KAT its nearly midnight here. Pleased you liked the POEM PICTURE & VIDEO! Yes we are a "Match made in Heaven" AMEN Love & Hugs ANGELA XXXX
It sounds such a beautiful name and your words describe the draw of New Zealand so well Angela -- best wishes for your soon-to-be reunion with Brian under that great white cloud of love.
Thanks FAY, Pleased you liked it, I do my best to convey the intrinsic Beauty and Ambience of New Zealand its better and brighter than anywhere else on Earth Ive been and certainly as nice as Rural Essex! I loe the concept of "A Great White Cloud of LOVE" it could be a Poem? Cant wait fro BRIAN to come and He cant wait to get here. Thanks for your nice comment, LOVE ANGELA XXXX
Y*u have used up *ll the 'a's and 'o's in this! A couple slipped through here.
A fine write * (Another 'A' used up as an *).
Wish I would stop talking rubbish! lol.
Something about Everton for Brian in my poem today! lol.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE, pleased you liked my Eulogy to NEW ZEALAND. Every Blessing, Your Kiwi Niece ANGELA XXXX
It is obviously a wonderful place and you are enjoying life and it’s culture to the fullness of your ability.
THANKS ANDY: Pleased you enjoyed my eulogy for my adopted Home (for 12 months) NEW ZEALAND. Because Brian had Paternal Relations here he had visited a couple of times and knew I would love it ! It is everything he said, and more! I am enjoying the cooler weather (10 - 15F = 50 - 60C) because its Winter in the S Hemisphere. Because Auckland is semi-tropical we don\'t get any snow or frost so there are still lots of flowers. The KIWI way of life is different from the UK and the Maori Culture is very different. Brian will see a big change in Me, I am much more relaxed and laid back. Love to Joyce & Yourself : Yours ANGELA XXXX
Fonts of knowledge - great write Angela.
Thanks UNCLE MIKE, I like to inform and entertain in my Poems etc. Brian had warned me I would fall in love with NZ, the Culture and the Kiwis and the Maoris, and I have and they with me. Some days I feel I was born here they have made me so welcome. Brian will see a big change in me when he visits I am so so relaxed and laid back. Thanks for your comments and for the Quality & Variety of all your postings on MPS. Love & Blessings from ANGELA in the "The Land of the Long White cloud" XXXX
Cara Amica ANGELA,
Una bellissima poesia e foto!
Great acrostic and a beautiful song! New Zealand is one of my favorite places in the world! So glad you’ve found a “home away from home”! Once BRIAN gets there, it’ll be double the pleasure!
Abbracci e Baci...
~Laura~
CAIO LAURA: La mia bella Amica. Pleased you enjoyed My Poem (Eulogy to NZ) and The NZ National Anthem sung in Maori (Language of Heaven) and English. I love the Maori & Kiwi Culture and everyone is so so friendly and welcoming, I feel I was BORN HERE! I am much more relaxed and \"laid back\" than I was in the UK, Brian will love the \"NEW ME\" when he visits on 19 August, which is very soon. Pleased you like NZ who wouldn\'t? Abbracci e Baci con Amore : ANGELA XXXX BRIAN doubling my pleasure, when we meeti? He will increase it TENFOLD. ANGELZ
