Promise to keep it coming. <br /><br />@ Meisha, Yuh done know. Its hard to find balance in the Caribbean dialect and a more universal tone and style. I want to reach a broad audience but I want keep mi style.<br />I was referring to a slapping action (He was gesturing to box the cigarette out his hand; as we say down so, box it out yuh hand)<br />And, I had to curry it up with the sound clash-like back and forth.Kayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915716295257931036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420113799047946521.post-78497158490435524202010-11-09T16:24:36.732-05:002010-11-09T16:24:36.732-05:00oh, one more thing:

I too felt apart of the conversation and there were moments that stoked a smile. One thing though, this sentence tripped me up for a few minutes -"Gesturing to box the cigarette out his bredren's hand". I couldn't understand if you were referring to the box of cigarettes or if you were referring to "slapping" the cigarette out of the bamboo-limbed youth's hand.<br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed reading and hope you write more frequently.<br /><br />Di Empress DivineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420113799047946521.post-77638134154415256022010-11-09T11:20:10.445-05:002010-11-09T11:20:10.445-05:00I loved it!
