“A Portable Paradise” by Roger Robinson<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

And if I speak of Paradise, <\/span><\/p>\n

then I’m speaking of my grandmother <\/span><\/p>\n

who told me to carry it always <\/span><\/p>\n

on my person, concealed, so <\/span><\/p>\n

no one else would know but me.<\/span><\/p>\n

That way they can’t steal it, she’d say.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if life puts you under pressure, <\/span><\/p>\n

trace its ridges in your pocket, <\/span><\/p>\n

smell its piney scent on your handkerchief, hum its anthem under your breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if your stresses are sustained and daily, get yourself to an empty room – be it hotel, hostel or hovel – find a lamp <\/span><\/p>\n

and empty your paradise onto a desk:<\/span><\/p>\n

your white sands, green hills and fresh fish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shine the lamp on it like the fresh hope of morning, and keep staring at it till you sleep<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Rubric for a 100%<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The student’s exploration of the topic is ins oghtful. Perception and\/or ideas are confident and discerning. Support is precise and aptly reinforces the student’s ideas and impressions<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The voice created by the student is convincing. Stylistic choices are precise and the student’s creation of tone is adept. The unifying and\/or aesthetic effect is skillfully developed.<\/span><\/p>\n
