Will you join me on my island?
A place where there is no war,
Only peace and love.
A place where all are equal,
And rancour is not allowed.
A place where we all work together
For the good of all,
Not the few.
Where food is abundant,
And we all eat our fill
Of the foods that tempt our palettes,
And hunger is non-existent.
A place where nature is allowed to survive,
And the animals show us the wonder
Of their so valuable lives.
A place of music, art and words
That can create so many emotions within
Our lives of contentment.
A place where death only comes
In contented old age.
Knowing that you have done your best
For everyone around you,
And can leave the island
Knowing that those left behind
Will only talk of you with love and respect.
Will you join me on my island?

Your island sounds perfect Andy, I would love to join. This really sings of how kind a soul you have for the planet and all that love on it. Beautiful 🌟
So very kind DB, you are more than welcome to join.

Will be there. fallenAngel1 had mentioned a ‘picnic of poetry’, in summer, so MPS poets can gather on your island. Food from all round the world! Lovely.
So true, a picnic of poetry and food from around the world sounds so fabulous. I would be happy to cook for you all.
Andy
I'll sure join you Andy - woulldn't it be great to meet up.
Yes I knew you would be there.
Yes it would be great to meet up Michael.

Will definitely join you in your island if only there was one. A beautiful poem Andy really enjoyed it
It would be good to see you TKKKK, thank you.
Andy
I am on my way to join your wondrous island my friend. What could be better than doing our best for love and respect.
Very true Fay, love and respect is always worth all.
Andy
What a super idea...I'd be there tomorrow.
On the other hand these idealistic ideas tend to miss out on some rather important stuff. Now then, such an idyllic island is going to appeal to disrespectful lazy wasters as much as it will to anyone else, how do you decide who clears up after such people especially if theyre not prepared to dig their own toilet and backfil.. etc etc etc
Great uplifting poet especially in these troubled times when the planet needs us to be more caring ans respectful of our environment.
Thanks d a, the island will only accept those who will do their bit to help all so there will be no 'lazy wasters'.
Thanks for you kind words d a.
Andy
