Best Costa Poems

“I must be out of my mind,” I thought
As I hurled myself into the green abyss
Over the forest canopy the zip-line went
“Never, ever again if I manage to survive this”…

I survived and now must brag a bit
I was as brave as brave could ever be
Just...

Costa Rica Tour

Sit right back and I’ll tell you all
About our recent trip
Somewhere in Costa Rica
We left our cruise line ship
The bus ride – uneventful
Out through the country side
The vistas were fantastic
 Then came the bumpy ride
The bus jerked to the left side
Then right back...

Very vibrant green lots of different trees 
The quetzal bird sings in the bright morning
Aqua and red feathers fly through the fog
On the beach lay the tracks of a turtle
The sand is hot and soft during mid-day
It starts to rain in the wet green jungle
The...

The Craters Of Costa Rica

Welcome Moon, Mars and craters, to your cousin Costa Rica
Mountain walls rise up in orange display, in gravel and red clay
Hug the twisting narrow roads in terror
Clinging to the mountains 
Brilliant birds and lizards compliment the wilds there
They scatter at the...

No llores por mí Costa Rica

Me llamo Cabuya de la familia Agave.
My name is Cabuya from the Agave family.

Yo tengo hojas largas y verdes con forma de espadas dentadas como chorros de agua de una fuente.

A stammer has been mine all my days
in recent months therapy again did take
but fear ruled through many a situation
what's to do? zero as it couldn't even shake

Many branches of Costa coffee shops
but always busy queued up made me fear
my tongue would block not able...

This was a commercial maritime catastrophe.
Could it happen in the twenty-first century?
Such a disaster happened off the coast of Italy.
A ship ran into the shoals of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It happened in 2012 on the thirteenth of January.
The Costa Concordia was a modern cruise liner.
For a...

Across the room
I fell in sudden love 
With the coffee smear
Lightly resting
On her top lip

A sudden love that 
Just as quickly
Disappeared when
She wiped it away
With her fingertip...

Same old routine, same venue too
We join the queue, I order
Flat white for her with fern motif
Tan crema round the border
For me a capuccino, large
With sifted chocolate powder
Baristas all look younger now
The music slightly louder

We grab our favourite corner seat
Our meal, the usual fare
Two toasties...

horses, lances, arrows, fire
they reenact the war of the roses

the outdoor setting
has been erected next to Costa

outside on the ground
napkins, zarfs and stirrers 

and half the audience gets their
medieval caffeine hit 

that encourages us to yell and whoo-hoo
and pay attention to history

they encourage us to...

Elfin forest, 
Hiding in Peru,
Waiting for fog drip

Gnarled trunks,
Lichens, ferns, orchids,
Mossy forest's trolls

Intense tree canopy
Keeping shy mountain gorilla's secrets
Holding raindrops hostage

Perpetual fog,
Adding a mystique 
of shadowed magic

Tropical delight
Heavily affected by
Global climate changes

Elfin forest,
Lending her mosses
To lead the way...

THEY WERE NOT ADMIRED, THEY WERE HARDLY EVEN LIKED, THEY REFRAMED FROM COMMENT DUE TO THEIR DISPOSITION, ALLOWING
SOMEONE WITH A GREATER DISPOSITION TO BE IN CONTROLL. mONITERING
THEIR ABLITIES WOULD BE EASY AS THESE MEN WERE ADVANCE IN THEIR TRAINING. THEIR WORKS WERE OF THE TEACHINS...
