Streets of Bonoa Revisited

I just waved
At the fleeting 
Unenglish speaking
Dominican people

Unknowingly they
Went about their day
And in kind
I went about mine

But, still
I waved hello
And smiled within
As I wished them even more goodbyes


Premium Member A Special Teacher


Art teacher, fourth grade, was Sister Yvonne-
     Dominican Nun I could rely on.
She fostered my talent with special care
     that gifted my life with artistic flair.

Premium Member The Gullah

The Gullah people drift with the tide,
existing by the Charleston seaside.
Their lives more often unduly harsh,
yielding and melding with the marsh.
Africans of Dominican voice impressed.
Tales of Bruh rabbit are among the best.
From all over the world they came
Slaves, but, of rice field planting fame.

Premium Member Larimar Queen of the Ocean Stones

At Playa Rincon, in Dominican Republic’s sparkling cerulean waters
Among polished white pebbles, blue calcite and moonstone magic
sits larimar, the mermaid stone, the queen of the ocean stones.
Tailsman of adventurers and explorers, larimar empowers you
Enabling you to speak to your waiting, listening heart.
This is how she became and retains the title of queen

Streets of Bonoa

Between emerald mountains there Markets sprawl under Dominican feet Cycles a buzz up, down around the square I watch as the palm leaves senoritas sweep Ladies beneath basket heads walk the broken streets Taps upon my shoulder as youthful vendors beg them bare Along with a blinding kindness of the underlying thieves Because I am the foreign, the strangness to make them stop and stare
