Sweet potatoes baked

Earthquake In Haiti

Boom! was all we heard
houses sunk into the earth
the foul smell of death

Another heavy blow
upon the Caribbean home
earthquake took it's toll

Premium Member dream vacation

you'll find me on the beach
under the setting sun
floppy white sun hat
waving in the tropical breeze
lost in the Caribbean
not looking to be found

At the September dance
Girls select their playdates
Caribbean weather
Threatens downpours and fires
Children grow impatient
Waiting for winter break

On a Caribbean beach he asked her to be his forever after
She was young, not ready yet.
Told him she would have to think about it.
He married another.

You are worth the wait

I pity the fool who must imagine this spectacular sight!
For even now it is right before my eyes!
Friend, turn your chin to the sky!

A Fugitive's Life

I dug and dug and broke out of jail,
the warden searched not finding my trail,
for while he looked toward east
I was not there in the least...
the brochure said: Caribbean sail!

After the Party

He drank a sea 

Of Caribbean Rum

Under the midnight sun

Twenty-one candles

Melted into icing on

Pineapple upside-down

Now the woman in his bed

Is a stranger and his head

Is made of woodpeckers

Premium Member John Wayne the Jokester

His last days
in his dreams
in Jamaica mon
The capital Kingston
He prayed to the heavens
Gods only laughed
in the Caribbean waves
as this small minded 
prang called
the pond of frogs
glorious

Caribbean Queen

Quietly gazing upon her beauty 
As she strolls aside the surf; soft
Stirring this ice inside my glass...
Slipping into another daydream
Wherein her eyes her smile her 
Touch, are all that I find; sublime.

Premium Member The Humble Eye

I am sea waves of the Caribbean

I am untouchable winds of change

I am chameleon of colors

I am craving much... the Potter's touch

I am mere speck from whence we came.

I am the humble eye.

Premium Member Vexing Amphibian

Oh, the vexing amphibian - 
from the Nile or Caribbean.
Is it a toad or a frog,
a tadpole or polliwog,
a newt or salamander,
crocodile, alligander?
Oh, the vexing amphibian - 
from the Nile or Caribbean.

Premium Member Caribbean Snail

Ah, you painted the snail! I said, in an ignorant way.
No, she replied. She was born like that in the Caribbean.
But I am not used to snails from anywhere other than Canada Bay.
So I think maybe you are fibb-E-in.

A Squirrel's Dream

I dream of spending my hibernation
on a coconut palm in the Caribbean
where instead of sleeping
morning, noon and night
I’ll be too busy
chomping down nutty peanut cakes
and sipping daiquiris of acorns and coconuts!

Premium Member traveling Sue

my friend Sue travels everywhere
Bahamas, Alaska, plane in the air
Egypt, India, and the Caribbean too
She began traveling at age sixty-two
Before that she never went anywhere.
Watching travel shows from her cozy easy chair

Caribbean
pirate ship-
tranquil scene
beneath full moon

what hostile schemes
being formed
within

~*~ Pretty Baby blue eyes Open wide to see inside Pulsing like ocean’s crystal tides Bottomless pools like Caribbean cove Hypnotized I fall deep in love Swimming in her soulful Baby blue eyes Pretty ~*~

Caribbean Flavor. ~~***~~ Cool Caribbean breeze Softly whispering your name Intoxicating. West Indies waters Cooling my heated body Invigorating. Tall coconut trees Towering over the sea Intimidating. ~~***~~
