Best Calypso Poems

calypso darting
peering through open windows
rufous hummingbird

an old gourd hanging
blowing gently in the breeze
its peach tree abode

Head hangs
She runs away
From both my loving arms
I thought that we were bestest friends,
you cat....

Some say when 
daffodils shoot up 
Spring is here.
It’s safe to put away
your boots and shovels.
Maybe somewhere
but not where I live.

I’ve seen daffodils
on Monday peeking 
out of snow on Tuesday 
giving me a wink as if to say
we fooled you, didn’t we.
And I say yes...

Expressive plum-tipped lips have cursed the fog
enchanting senses- snaring drifting minds
the petaled blush within the mist of Northwood bogs
is fair Calypso dancing there amidst the sheets
her scent a whispering tale that held agog-
a gallant hero like Odysseus....

Calypso was famous for her feminine wiles.
She detained Odysseus on one of her Isles.
He did not mind.

Sensual music tones
Palm Trees wave
Ocean waves can’t behave
Tempo step by step
Melody blues
Intriguing breezes
Caribbean vibe
Senseless minds
Balmy Beach
Relaxing with no worry
Hummingbird song
Coming along and dance along
Carefree
Entertaining delight
From day into the night
Starry skies
word to the wise
Wisdom astounding
Heaven’s watch
Just observe
Calypso beat
What could be so sweet
Music beat on and strong.

hot 
summer 
stole my wish, 
unprecedented,
like a silent thief in the night;

as if I am one of them, yet, my heart longs for the city tower; 
I felt the night breeze…and silver moon above me floating...

  Calypso twirl, Calypso whirl, Calypso dance
    in Pretoria, Panama or Paris France

  Flash the dancer’s eyes	
    feel the temperature rise…

  Wise Chanticleer’s surmise 
    fiery sunrise

Several sirens singing on the shore
Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore.
Willing witless wanderers;
Oblivious obeyers, 
Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore.

Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore
That the salty surging sea cast ashore.
Boiling briny blunderers
With olive oil and oysters
And feasting until they could eat...
