In search of crumbs or food

Clever paws and whiskers twitch

Ever quick, gone in a flick

Search for my tongue PEE

sarinnm — 2025-03-24 11:07:27 UTC

The poet creates an image of a flower blossoming. This image is created when she says "Every time I've think I've forgotten, I think I've lost my mother tongue, it blossoms out my mouth". The word "blossoms" shows that the mother tongue is like a flower, something beautiful. The speaker feels happy about this because she knows that her mother tongues is always with her.

PEE Remember

The poet uses personifications to reinforce the them of connection. This is created when she says "Remember the moon, know who she is". The phrase "know who she is" gives life to the moon, an inanimate object to signify that everything is connected with each other. The speaker feels happy because she feels connected to the universe.

Grace Nichols uses imagery to create a strong sense of place for the reader. The phrase "Island Man heaves himself" shows that the Island Man is reluctant to leave his dream. The word "heaves" further supports this because it shows the Island Man forcing himself to wake up from his dream.
