Goa (Prose Poem) by amanda_dcosta

This is a place well known for babes, beaches and beer. It's true that you would find this dream-come-true here. I came here five years ago and fell in love with all that Goa claimed to be except the beer bottle. We live atop a plateau that over looks the sea, the sunset is often quite a sight When viewed through greenery. The coconut trees that dot the coast and pine trees at Betal Batim, are wondrous spots to hang out or chill out by the beach. Nay, this is not why I love this place, or long to remain here. For five years back we set out to independently start our home. The love between my man and I grew fonder day by day, as we began to depend on each other in many ways. Our children too know no other place, except for grandpa's home; way down town south a long way off an overnight trip to go. Our friends are few, yet beautiful In more ways than one. They willingly accepted me and above all, I feel loved. It's here that I developed a taste for painting crazily. An amateur in this field, they tolerate me willingly. And Poemranker, yes, it's true, I'll remember this seat so vividly. How I sit here everytime and spend my day poetically. Alas, it's time for me to go back home, down town south. Goa... I'll always love you. you've a special place in my heart.

Thanks AL. Hmmmm. So you think it's one ogf my best? That's god to hear. :-). Recently I haven't been writing much and it's nice to see a couple of tens to make up for it. I presume you could say that there was a lot of emotion in what I wrote.

I wrote it on MS Word and it has automatic caps each line. I didn't have the patience to check it last night when I wrote it.
There's quite a lot of caps unnecessarily. Sorry about that. I may not write for quite a while, and even if I do, I might post more only after I settle down in Cochin, down south 780 km. from Goa.
