ISLAND PHILOSOPHY

I’m done , Donne
Today , everyone of us
Is an Island

All islands are
At bottom , one continent
Oceans divide

TROPICAL ISLANDS

We shall see how
She sells sea shells
In Seychelles

So vibrant
It could win an Oscar
Madagascar

If denied
A visit , I turn vicious
To Mauritius

I never saw
Sea lovelier than
Off Seychelles

Clove scented
Breeze from the Island
Of Zanzibar

Unguja, Pemba
Beautiful Spice Islands
Of Zanzibar
