Excerpts from “Ode to the Algarve” by Sandra Penny McCallum
On the dusty road above Altura; that bends and winds and winds
Twixt pastel villas standing tall there amongst one finds
Fields of Goats and horses, dogs and little cats
Fruits trees, dusty paddocks, villagers doing this and that.
…
I breathe the warm Algarvian air and watch the donkey carts go by
With kids and cases, produce, and boxes piled high
Worn Leather bridles, carts were drawn by horse or donkey old and thin
The gypsy folk command the and the community therein.
…
To drink the drink and eat the eat, it’s really not expensive
With a cup of tea, I sit and write; and feeling rather pensive
The Port, wine, olives, fish, and such fit truly for a king
Sup up ex-pats, enjoy yourselves; for life is everything.
These are just a few lines of the poem but the full poem and book are available on Amazon. The full poem is set to video on “American in Portugal” on YouTube”. Sandra created a page on Facebook to share experiences @SandyAussieAuthor. Sandra immigrated from Australia to the UK and then to Portugal about 10 years ago. Veronica immigrated from California to the United States of America five years ago and began her channel during the covid lockdown to show life here in Portugal.
