Not a great fan of doubles in my own country, I begin to feel the stirrings of patriotism as I share the universal Jamaican love for the patty. |
The beginnings of any kind of valid poetry or poetic stirrings in Australia date into the present century. |
Like the first breath of spring after a long and stultifying winter, these first stirrings are signs of hope. |
The explanation many people reach for involves mental telepathy or psychic stirrings. |
A generation or two ago, fisherfolk may have felt humility, possibly even religious stirrings, in the face of a storm. |
But then maybe I only think that because I believe they'd be benign and unformed stirrings, augmenting my life and not upheaving it. |
