Poetry written in the style of prose: Vommuli

Sky's yellows, whites, reds and blues recall paintings of Mondrian

The island of Vommuli in western central Maldives, a mere nine hectares, is a pearl on the turquoise plate that is the Indian Ocean. The opening of St. Regis Hotel on Nov 1 officially unveiled this pearl to the world, and for four short days one month after the hotel's opening I stayed on Vommuli, soaking in sounds, sights and scents indigenous or foreign to the island.
