MONTENEGRO: WILD
BEAUTY
written in Bichici (Montenegro)
27.05.2007
Romans called it Black Mountain
I call it Wild Beauty.
Montenegro.
Hardly any people know about it.
Ask me where is it?
It is a little democratic state
Former Yugoslavia
Came here twenty years ago
On my way to Albanisa.
Capital called Podgorica.
It was Titograd twenty years ago.
Yes, it has changed a lot.
A lot more shops and hotels.
Tourists are pouring down
From all over Europe.
Mostly Autrians and Germans
Yes, British as well
To enjoy the Sun
And natural Beaches.
I called it wild, because everywhere
Beautiful wild flowers give joy and happiness
To people
Like me
I fell in love with its rugged mountains
Flowers and clean blue AdriaticWater
It is my hope that one day you will come here
To enjoy the wild beauty
As I have enjoyed myself.
Dobor Dan, Montenegro.
Bithi Das wrote this poem as part of her 'Travels with a Young
Little Old Lady' manuscript.
