Best Cuba Poems

Sugar Cuba?
What's so normal about normalization?

We become a little more socialist
They become a little more capitalist

We all meet in the middle and hold hands… How sweet!

They give us Cuban cigars
We give them rap music
A form of torture

We can now visit Cuban hotels
Cubans can visit Disney...

Cuba…Mamma Mia…like most of the Caribbean; part of the 1492 slam…
Slavery, sugar plantations… invasions, upheaval, independence…
Then the American kisses; with a slight twist…who initiated the ’disses’…?
Was it Blaine…is he insane…?
Was it Marti…the heart of the party…?
Or Teller…many say he was the real speller…
Or Estrada Palma…could...

Farewell then Fidel Castro
You have come to the end of your show
With Che and a cigar you seemed so cool
But over Cuba you no longer Raúl ......

(the Rolling Stones play Cuba) 

It’s time to rock, 
It’s time to talk, 
Let’s religion balk, 
And let normality walk. 

Don’t let the Pope talk, 
Don’t forever singers stalk, 
We’re writing in chalk, 
That secularism must dock....

Americans lifted their picket
When Cuba proved they can't lick it
The bureaucrats came
And went back home lame
The Yanks just can't tolerate cricket!*

*Research concluded American diplomats
were assaulted by Cuban crickets rather than a sonic
bombardment. ...

It has been over 90 years since a US President visited Cuba. I feel it is the right time for this to happen. 
The "Cuban people" have suffered greatly under the dictatorship of Castro rule, especially the young. 
America is only 90 miles from the...

I remember it like the day before yesterday Cuba 1959. Batista, 
the corrupt dictator, had fled, but this was revenge time and 
many of his collaborators were rounded up and shot; and what

LORD, this morning, thank you. This SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, garland ...
Coronoa Virus, COVID VIRUS, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy...

I once heard a small girl in Cuba
play sweet sounds on this big-ass tuba.
The way she played that thing,
made every birdy sing
from Havana clear to Aruba....

Havana's a great place to come,
The jazz gives you something to hum,
Drive an old vintage car,
Or smoke a cigar,
But don't get too drunk on the rum!

Music drifts down into the dim allies 
A rhythm tune coming from every home.
Filled with the laughter of broken voices.
Like waves rollicking with the sound.
 
Cuban nights syncopating by stressing. 
The familiar routine of daily existence,
Mystique meaning sharing in the living. 
Parts of history claiming...

The welcome party’s out in style,
It wags its tail, it beams a smile;
The cabs lined up are set to go,
Resplendent as in a 1950’s pageant show.
The air is warm, the palm trees sway,
For Old Havana airport, it’s just another day.

The road to town is just...

So Here Is why 
From: Cuba

I help you lock things down tight - order comes from your bones
Grabbing my hand, you look and say “ yep “ 98 years
I look at yours “maybe 99 for you” 
might you miss me when my storm comes?

The door...

By Craig J. Burt /Jimmy Boom Semtex
Are you ok?
Your brain's rattling like crazy
You're dancing like a ballerina
Twerkin around these crazy hot streets
You say why be a bore?
Life is a chore
Refuse to fade
Like a shadow of a doubt
Silver star filled skies
Shining proudly
Living freely & deep in...
