The Planetary Awards

Dear Everyone, I am hosting a li’l bloggers awards ceremony tonight at this ol’ house by the Atlantic. All of you’s invited.

Performances gon be put on by Mammy Nature she self.

The wind tonight gon be cool, ooh-ooh aah, your arms gon shiver. Such a strong wind it gon be, shaking them brass chimes hanging on we verandah rail, making them ching-ching more loud than usual. Them crickets...no strong breeze ain't stopping them. For you, they gon chirp their super-loud, green song about long, quivering grass and night-brown stems of fern and orchids. Breeze gon blow ‘way all mosquitoes.

Above, in the dark sky, heavy white clouds gon rush by so fast, you might think them is giant sheep racing. Stars gon move quick-quick, you would think them is the lights from shepherds’ lamps, chasing after them sheep.

Even if we get a blackout...powercut, dear guests, nothing gon stop we show.

Welcome to the Planetary Awards, where, thanks to Michelle, I receive this (for beautiful writing...heh):















And now, to share the good vibes, I gon give some awards too (along with crispy, salty, slightly-peppery plantain chips, breadfruit chips and cool mauby drink - bitter enough to fool beer lovers, sweet enough to fool non-beer drinkers).
