A poem like this can say a lot about an island or situation. I think a major poetry contest can be publicized through the media and used sufficiently to promote our out Island communities. What do you think?

Poem:

Eleuthera



I have a special place I go

I wish that I alone did know

This island that gave me freedom



Freedom to love and understand

The special ness of fellowman

The sovereignty of Gods great hand

This island, Eleuthera, I call home



I have a special place I go

Where freedom reigns and this I know

I see it in faces that glow

These people brought me home



I’ll come again when’Er the chance

To laugh and sing, Romance and dance

This is a special circumstance

Eleuthera is my home.

Maybe you should hurry up an leave to an Island somewhere, without any books for you to read for a while. Maybe your mind clears a bit.
