Best Havana Poems

Havana girls, cherry hearts
Bad girls from Mars
Miss july, mad money
Say hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Glitter is a girl’s best friend
Only a pair of diamond earrings can make me happy
Gold and fur completes my soul
Cleopatra and diamond lust

Corals in my eyes and love is in my hair
I’m a girl...

It's not a secret 
sonic weapon 
deployed 
by a hostile
geopolitical power,
it's not a mass 
psychogenic 
illness. 

Its something much 
more mundane,
says the electrical 
and computer 
engineering professor:

"It's only crickets;
the mating call 
of the short-tailed 
West Indies cricket, 
to be specific,
(of course it is),
with a chirp...

Old Havana it's been a long, time,
since I felt your love.
 Your warm oceans, and island breeze,
Is never enough.

You soothe my soul with your calming seas,
 and your soft raindrops, make me
feel at ease.

I can see Mr Hemingway sipping on Rum.
Writing away, till the morning...

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!

The steamy Havana night air became heavy through the broken-up streets of the old city where ancient Detroit monsters were on display like dinosaurs from some prehistoric era, forgotten, given up to the boundaries of time. 

Another empty night crawl for two wayward visitors on...

He followed a dream to Havana, Cuba –
amid communism and embargo.
A beautiful country this Cuba is,
and the women are soft on the eyes.
There are whores, yes,
there are whores aplenty, 
but not like the ones in Gomorrah.
I’ve been there before,
and witnessed drag-Queens offering hand jobs.
A sad...

There once was a dancer from Havana
who while dancing came on a banana.
But without it’s skin it
sent her into a spin
and ended the career of Evana....

Touched down at José Martí Airport
The air is so full, so very loud
Standing out, a thumb that is sore
Bleached face in a black crowd

The poverty is so very overwhelming 
Though poorer I am aware there is 
A taxi that has two decades on me
Revolution through...

Hot In Havana.
.
It was a sweltering hot sticky Havana summers
Velvet star-studded night
I was sat enjoying the scene
In a dance bar
As someone played the piano accordion
And guitar
.
Suddenly I was aware of a shapely silhouette 
Stood at the door and I was transfixed by what I’d seen
And...

I am in a Havana state of mind
Lounging over a cocktail with a huge cigar
I am simple man of my people
Only on a separate pay grade...

is a mass hysteria
induced by the sound 
of Indies short-tailed crickets mating, 
not, as conspiracy would have it,
the result of a sonic weapon,
a microwave attack,
or malfunctioning eavesdropping equipment.

Likewise, the Sausalito Hum 
was not a snooping Russian sub,
or newly laid electric cable.
No, blame the love sick...

Will they will blame the President's mental disability on Havana Syndrome?...

Last year
they told us
nothing 
to see here,
no unknown 
enemies 
there 
or elsewhere
with secret weapons
tuned up
and targeted 
to screw-up minds.
Now 
they say
it's Russia,
Russia, Russia
with secret telepathic
energy weapons
tuned up
and targeted
to seek out
minds 
of high level
diplomats 
and whomever
stands in the way
of a nefarious agenda.
Did they lie
last year 
or...

There was a lady from Montana
Who fell in love with a banana,                
Which had such an appeal 
She felt urged to reveal
They planned to elope to Havana.

She rented a seaside...

I see it in cubes cast
And chiefly featuring in breakfast;
In Bread and cake harboured
And in plantains and cereals honoured…

Also in my tea that would gullets pass through,
Its presence in oats holding true.

I see it in packs neatly filled
In layers arranged and sealed,
Each one of them...
