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

Island of Gold
In the Ramayana
Sri Lanka
Across the Straits

Mummudi Crowned

Island of Cholas
Eelam the Home
Tambapanni Island
Copper Red Earth
Sarandīb it is
The finding of an Island
Serendipity
ISLAND FOOD

I love both the fowl
And rosy egg
