GLIMPSES OF GUYANA
TWENTY FIVE POEMS – By Dmitri Allicock
NEAR GEORGETOWN’S HARBOR
When the Demerara becomes muddy and rumbles
And the coast washes in the Atlantic’s tumble
There lies green blankets of sugarcane flat lands
Where the ships announces themselves so grand
Nautical charts and instruments rules the stars

Editorial – Stabroek News 17 July 2015
David Patterson must be the most unfortunate of ministers. There he was, blessed with that all-important attribute which is so rarely found among members of Guyana’s governing classes ‒ common sense ‒ setting up task forces, getting pumps mended, desilting canals and generally cleaning up Georgetown, when we were visited by yet another pluvial inundation.
