Around fire place we draw nigh
To combat coldness attacks...
Singing joyous hymns
Grateful to God* for love’s warmth
Exempting us from Winter**.

Death In the Tropicsit is heaven on earth, some say;
a paradisical playground,
peopled by bronzed angels in miniature
and permeated by fragrant incense, by jasmine,
by the toll of a temple bell.
it is an eastern jungle,
a tangled fairytale thicket of woven dreams and flimsy ecstasy
- the...

Summer In the TropicsSummer of blazing sun’s delight
offers good health and wellness flight
smiting intense heat wave blight.
Season for nature-trip leisure
mountain treks devoid of pressure
while sweating out with pleasure.
Tropic’s Summer sizzles with zest
vacation bliss and bonding nest
in warm hugs of loved ones blest.
As parched land parcels thirst for...

Tragedy In the Tropicslike a hungry monster
devastating was the earthquake
swallowing Haiti
leaving total destruction in it's wake
the dead and dying lay about
from Port Au Prince to Leogane
mass graves being dug
while this tropical island screams in agony
the warm winds of desperation
blow along the severed highways
sad souls stranded without food and...

The TropicsWatching travelogs about the tropics
I yearn for the warm sunny beaches
Don't get me wrong I still love Canada
But miss those gentle summer breezes
The fresh sea air drifting across the water
Soft and exhilarating sun on my skin
Heaven like feeling matched by my mind
Always accompanied by a...

The Cursed Drupe
Completely unrestrained, sun drenched and yummy,
Tasting of the tropics, flavors so tender,
Falling from the coconut tree to greet my tummy,
Great amounts of fiber found in each bite….
Scrumptious like the mango, cashew and cherry
And, just like these – they aren’t nuts at all,
Instead, they’re a drupe,...
