4 Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who still wakes up the sound of the sea) by Grace Nichols

Morning
the steady breaking and wombing
wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island






He always comes back
to a surge of wheels
to dull North Circular roar
muffling muffling
his crumpled pillow waves
island man heaves himself
another London day
groggily groggily
and island man wakes up
comes back to sands

to the sound of blue surf



Where would you most like to wake up?

I would like to wake up in Califronia , that way i can visit Apple Inc
And meet Steve Jobs (The C.E.O)
And also look around for a job, with software developmetn and programming
Also in california there are a lot of celebrities that i would love to meet.
In Addition the weather is great! So sunny and warm! And no GST & HST Tax!

Good job with this. Make sure you complete the full assignment. Part of it is to write about where you would most like to wake up. Go back and check my assignment. Also, you have to make sure to link back to the assignment on my blog.

You should also link to my post about the Tweet Up and you can write you own, too.

Can you edit this page so that the music does not start automatically?

Hi Mateen,
