In this series of short poems (haikus), land art and photos, I will portray my impressions of this truly magical part of the world. A more detailed report will follow later.
CHILDREN
Past and the future
Do not bother the children –
Solomon Islands
RAIN
The giant fern leaves
Touched by the afternoon rain
Gracefully bend down
A cup of hot tea –
Roosters and the shout of a man
Mix with sounds of rain
Down in the valley
Rainheavy banana leaves –
Smoke from the earth oven
Beside the river
A green wall of jungle leaves –
Rain drops in the air
your photos, as always, are so great … and your haikus add a wonderful dimension and a lovely feeling to the post. what a special experience you have had!
love and hugs,
Patty

There is something appealing about living the simple life of being in a hut on the island like that.
Good to hear from you, dear Don. Many carry the image of a simple life in a simple hut on a paradisiacal island in us in order to live a life of happiness. However, as you know, it depends on the mindset of the human being and the intactness of the social environment. Some people in the villages I have seen seemed to be really very happy and content. Love and hugs, Traude
