Here's something I wrote a couple of years ago, It sort of reminds me of Grace Nichols - Island Man from which was included in the anthology that I studied for my GCSE English exam. Island man is about a man living away from where he truly feels at home. I wrote this completely blind to any 'rules' their might be for writing poems but I like it nonetheless.Computer screens full of useless information
Worries over tomorrows rising inflation
Dreaming of the day I can go back
In search of everything I left behind
Endlessly tied down by the chains in my mind.
I remember the gentle breeze swaying through the trees
As it rushed over my boney knees
No money, not even a pound
But where happiness I found
No deadlines and daily grinds in sight.
Hours spent by the lake I sat fishing
'Til the day I met the girl who I couldn't stop kissing
Maybe someday i will receive the call
So I can return back to where my heart desires
Move far away from these creeps and liars.
