Tropical Treasures

Bahama beauty
highlights a paradise
of pure tranquil climates
glittering the calm shore
whispering a warm gentle splash
of clear lyrics in blue Bahamian waters

I Am Orange

I am orange
like the sunset
on
our Bahamian sunset
always melting your heart
with my blissful sun
blazing
with rays
glowing
with
the radiant
but
passionate
intensity
I hold for you

Favorite Color

An offspring born
from a marriage between
the shades of blue,  green and white
you are the universal language
of the seven seas
and the most significant color
on our national  flag
You represent a peace of mind
and every strand of my being
as a passionate Bahamian
in the only place
I have ever called home

Merengue Moon

The bouncing beat

Of merengue music 

At the beach bar pulses

Across the Bahamian bay

On a mellow breeze, 

Calling to the palms 

As they sway their arms

To the night rhythm, 

Inviting them into a dance 

With the full blue beams 

That tiptoe across the dark water

Eager to step onto the white expanse

Lit by the bright disco ball overhead

Sailboats At Regatta - By Hendrith Smith

Sailboats at Regatta
bob and weave
play and sway
like feathers on the currents of the air
on a springtime morning. 

Hand carved champions of the sea
engineered to outsail some other
brothers, friends and fathers all aboard
more than ready.

Hoing through the motions
open ocean bound
toward a blue horizon
and fearless - full of faith, only
in what wind may take them far, fast
as cheerful souls on shore
say goodbye.

- a poem by Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

a lover of coconuts
