Flying to Savaii

 


Flew to Samoa years ago

Girls are pretty as you know

Took trip to Savaii isle

At virgins grave were beguiled

Low in sky our plane soared

Welcomed there and not bored

Saw grave midst of lava field

Only spot lava did yield

  6. How strange the lava spared the grave site. That must have been fascinating to see, and no doubt many legends deify the virgin buried there. As you can see, your poem engaged me!

  7. I have walked lava-fields on Teneriffe... but there where no graves spared as this. Amazing
