This is a tale A story of a Caribbean nation On a beautiful island Where waves dance On the shores of a bitter history. This is a tale Of a nation, small yet mighty Caught between battles Like a football match Fought not with feet but with hearts and minds. This is a tale Of a match...

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 its presence. The people are dying by politics defying. All rights...

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 Hand Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment We deserve...

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 love We're no longer Strangers tonight now Sensational romantics Loving devoutly And...

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 a blur, Of sights and sounds and images that stir, Of little...

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. ...

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! View more here > https://cubaholidays.co.uk/blogs/posts/119169/around-the-world-in-limericks...

Free Cuba To my Mother and Father who lived in a free Cuba Cuba Libre, Free Cuba. Land of my birth, land of my soul, Cuba libre is what I pray for. Children not able to play, cuba libre was my play ground. My soul can not be free until my Cuba libre is flying her colors...

(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....

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 shore of Cuba and former President Obama has broken the...

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 he have been the calmer…? Was it San Martin…any questions of...

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 World My only question is Does Cuba have toilet paper?...
