All of the writing prompts have well been met. I love the description followed by "trespassing allowed!" This is a beautiful picture and a lovely 5-7-5. Good luck in the contest! Blessings! ~ Pat

Delicious! The invitation is exquisite. The presentation even more so. So much said in so few words. The very thought. To be part of the new generation of life. Just beautiful. rj

Thank you RJ for this most inspiring review. I love how these little islands just pop up from earthquakes or volcano's.

I must tell you, and I say this without judgement, while I am happy to vote for you, or another, soliciting votes devalues the very grip of your amazing art. Let the chips fall where they may. ~Peace & Grace~ rj

I wish I could trespass for a week or two.
Lovely image and a lovely write in putting forward your thesis.
On the mention of 'virgin Islands' I thought of Gungalo. God rest her soul.
Lovely write.
Good luck in the competition.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Thank you for the most inspiring review RGstar. I came after Gungalo's passing, never had the chance to review her work.
The voting booth is still open if you choose to vote.
God Bless!

Looks to me like correct format and syllable count. The artwork is certainly appropriate to the post. Caused me to stop and reflect how I'd like to be on that island today! Bill

Hi Mystery Poet,
I really enjoyed your haiku-island poem. In this tiny poem, just a few words, (which, by the way, are in perfect 5-7-5 syllable count), you give four periods of life. First, the sands gather together in the middle of an ocean. (I like your description of the sands, "virgin".) Second, the sand eventually forms an island. Third, the small island sprouts life, palm trees, shade to weary (and fourth period) shipwrecked souls, like Robbie Crusoe, cannibals, and Gilligan & company.

A great entry for this contest, and I wish you lots of luck!

Thank you Farther Flaps for this most inspiring review and feedback. I appreciate the support and you are spot on with your analogy. The virgin sand becomes the womb for the life that grows as well as a virgin to the first steps by animal or man.
