My Favorite Vacation In Rhyme Poetry Contest
Sponsored by L Milton Hankins
Eighth Place

Looking forward all winter for my vacation 
A three-day excursion put on by We Are One Nation
We parked our RV’S near the foothill,
then hiked and climbed top of the cliff and met Will
When the sign appeared Reggae Pon the Mountain,
we were quickly escorted to the water fountain
Come and jam to the tunes of the Marleys                         
Hanga-langa and check out the Harleys	
The Jamaican food—colorful, soulful—sublime
One look and I knew right away I would need more time
to enjoy Reggae 'Pon The Mountain
We bought masks, jewelry and tasted the cookies
Ingredients pure, strong, overwhelmed—we felt like rookies
C’mon stay mon, enjoy the music all day, sangalanga on Topanga 
You know the Canyon known for the rock-stars?
Three days of festive delight, tonight be romantic, sleep in your cars!
Our host thanked us and said Jah be with you, Rastafari
We waved as he drove off in his Ferrari
We’ll be back tomorrow for the Caribbean callaloo
where we’ll stay all day and enjoy the hullaballoo
A music festival up on the mountain

I visited Trinidad, enjoyed their calaloo. So it's a panCaribbean cuisine, like curried goat. Bob Marley is deeply inspirational. Once, I was fed The Rasta Herb Cookie. Just once in over these 6 decades

It is too good to be true-a placement in your contest. I am so proud. Yes, it was a blast to say the least, 102 degrees that day. Thank you, Milton and keep warm in Virginia!
