Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico
Have you survived the storm ?
The hurricanes the hurricanes
no mercy do they show.
We ask eternal question
what have we done wrong 
Don't blame yourselves,it's no ones fault
Nor punishment from God
Time and unforeseen occurance
I've learned be falls us all.
Prayers are the saving hope
Prayers for...

Under My Puerto Rican Sun
Slice that ripe green Avocado
Love it with my rice and beans
Oh it looks so ripe and yellow
Slice it like a tangerine

Let's make love under La Palma
Lay out our blanket on the clean
Luquillo sand - allow the Puerto Rican 
Sun to bath us with its warm...

In Puerto Rican Skies
Faces smiling, nodding politely 
At words they don't seem 
To understand,

Show me pictures,
Showing the richness of
A faraway distant land,

Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments 
Rising high in Puerto Rican skies....

Noisiest amphibian as you know.

With a mighty song.
My hundred decibel call scares a foe....

Puerto Rico
In the darkness of the night
I see your star shine bright
I hear the cries of our people
trying to be seen as equal
I feel your resilient heart
being torn apart
the desperation, indignation, exasperation
They insult us with their words
their ignorance, unconcern, and condemnation
but despite it all, we shall...

Horn Puerto Rico Haiku

All over Puerto Rico exists everywhere,
People who need our comfort and care;
Worry and fear,
There and here;
All they do have is sadness and despair.

Need things so their problem to be solved;
American military must become involved;
Them will greet;
Not suffer defeat;
With their efforts problems are...

The Seas Off Puerto De La Cruz
Power 
blue power
atlantics oceans power

Impetus a million tons of water
vast spray a haze of salty mist in the air
three hundred yards of sea 

Iridescent rainbow in the bright sunlight
withering pounding and crushing
waves a thousand mile voyage

Relentless night and day
past millenniums 
millenniums to come...

Premium Member The Day I Danced In Puerto Rico
Dancing in time, bringing in the heartfelt holiday 
Wafts of women in full traditional costume of Puerto Rico
Gyrating in the streets, teasing the crowd with their prowess
From old to young, they make their point in colorful garb.

Boy children and men standing around in the night
Pretending...

Chaos In Puerto Rico
Chaos In Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico living conditions became crude;
Was without much water or enough for food;
We were bare to bone;
Out things were thrown;
All we had was Trump who us liked to delude.

Puerto Rico
Bright skys that aren't always blue.
Warm air that's passing thourgh.
It's so wonderful here.
Cuz i am so high off the ground.
I wonder if i will ever come down.


Beautiful, relaxing, waveless beaches.
With sand so soft.
That it's like soft fuzzy peaches gently caressing the bottom of my feet.

Gliding, it seemed with his,
