and.. without further ado, the winner is:

Caedfel

Oh , My Island!

Oh, my island , in the sun,
Place for rest, place for fun.
Sun is shining, through palm trees,
Gently blows a whispering breeze.

A stream that gurgles, leaps and bounds,
Dives from rocks, a tranquil pool is found.
Tall trees , a glade is formed,
Lo! come meet the prancing unicorn!

On a rise manor house set,
Surveying wide meadows, where friends are met.
In the corner a tall and slender tower,
Tis here that elf has her bower.

Golden beaches, waves lap soft,
Not here the slightest hint of frost.
Dolphins in the surf do play,
Gamboling, safe, mayhap fey?

On the east, proud cliffs rise,
Here beacon shines for sailors eyes.
Sea birds flock, nest and roam,
Diving now into sea’s spume.

Oh my island in the sun,
Mystic home , place for fun.
Place to rest in cyber space,
To hold my love, warm and safe
