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


A Hair-Raising Tale

A bald-headed man from Jamaica
Attempted to scale a sky-scraper
From his hospital bed
He was heard to have said
‘I was seeking a hair-raising caper!

Just Let Your Heart Open

J-ust let your heart open, 
A-s you give and take the real love; 
N-ever close your mind and soul, 
E-ven your eyes to God above.

Sun, where are you?


The more the snow falls,
the more I hear Jamaica calling.

Jamaica - Pleiades

Join me in paradise
jostled loose from my dreams.
Journey to barefoot sands.
Jewels of turquoise gleam,
jaunting free in warm waves. 
Jacaranda-kissed breeze  
jogs memories of love.

Reggae Style

Rooted in Jamaica
Rhythmic off-beat playing
Rastafari message
Rope-like ringlets swaying
Rivers of the exile
Reminiscing sadness
Rock along to Marley's
Reggae rousing gladness

Jamaica

Just when dawn dust the dimpled skies
And aromas last fragrance kiss the light
My eye through an open window spies
Ancestral hills curved upward with delight
Infinite emotions sweeping me like a sea
Cradle the luscious form, suckle her breast
Ask not for more but to drink of morning glee

International Love

I snowed love
   In Moscow
I showed love
   In Warsaw

I kissed love
   In Paris
I romanced love
   In Rome

I showered love
   In London
I lived love
  In Sweden

I sited love 
   In Dubai
I tasted love
   In Mumbai

I burnt love
   In Jamaica 
I fell in love
   In Africa

I Am Me

12th June 1979 
JAMAICA 

I am the liquid in my tears
And the refreshment in my glass of water
I am the song I sing 
And the meaning of a poem
I am the place I stand
And I am a helping hand
I am tears of joy
I am joy in grief
I am a dewdrop upon a leaf
I – am – me

The Caribbean

small islands surround by the caribbean sea
from the greater and lesser antilles
Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Guyana just to name a few
the place where tourist comes to see the caribbean view
music, beaches, sports our culture they come to see
from that hard labour they want to be free.

Premium Member Shovel

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in,
tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like
tidying up the garden afterwards.  Jamaica Kincaid

Mama

Mama
Her patient love
Her caring voice
Her kind deeds
Her loving heart

A woman of integrity and pride
One who would do anything for her child

A wonderful person is she
Who gives of herself to all including me

Even though she can be strict
She can also be fun
When hard times come
She shines like the sun 
And always over come
