Premium Member My Loss

Oh, how I love that Jamaican rum! In my coffee, it is pure yum. In cake it’s even better; My roommate loves it too. He swilled mine away, Now it’s all gone; No rum cake, To dine On.

Premium Member nothing spicy or startling

Just long island iced tea, the Jamaican Pig told us.
We knew better than this, for we knew this pig, Gus.
Nothing spicy or startling inside the glass? I said.
He said no, but his tell-tale face turned a brilliant red.

Premium Member enjoying a Jamaican Proverb

Jamaican proverb
“when you see an old lady run, don’t ask what’s the matter
you run too”
I read this and laughed
I am old lady
I get it.
If I am running
there is a bear, a bull or an alligator chasing me
or maybe an enemy with a machete
great advice and marvelous proverb
age

The last gun around the bullet


Where my mind on my sleeve
I have s.p.e.(I know you will get it eventually)
and probably dyslexia
Playing golf with a wolf called Rolf
as you do
Where were meant wear
one plus one
The rain the bough
Brought the drought
Jamaican hair
I so dread
If there was no nothing how would we now

Harry Belafonte

Some are born Harlem Mercedes
and cast their shadow wide
Turn the world around
with love and peace
Sapple as a Jamaican Calypso
you rode the island Sun
and gave your generational heart
An Aladdin's legacy of activism
of civil rights with Martin King
and the antithesis of Bush and Trump
Wisdom as cultured Wine

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

Assassin of Youth

Come meet the assassin of youth-
Breath stinks! But he’s got swagger
Possessing the college kids- got them confused!

Come meet the assassin of youth-
Granddads thinking they are 22
Sweet talking minds in kind
The Jamaican – a stereotype

Come meet the assassin of youth
Barack on cloud 9
David didn't deny
Bill had a try
Tony it did inspire

Meet the assassin of youth.

Premium Member Preface To a Jamaican Farewell

PREFACE TO A JAMAICA FAREWELL

When I’m gone
remember me in tamarind season
reflecting the bitter
sweet of life we shared

Raise eyes 
to the ambers 
and blues of Caribbean skies

Listen to the thunder
and hear my soul 
soaring

In the searching winds of time
look for me in the ebb and flow
of  the tides:

Frothing the shores 
with salted memories.

 noth'n sounds more sweeter 
                 than
   the jamaican windz help'n

          cabin's porthole
                 her'z 
                 arrrr

             mine hear

A Lioness

A Thunderous Roar
But Yet With An Accent I Do Adore
Jamaican Speech Synchronized
With A French And Bim Flavor
Locks Beautiful And Blonde
Power, Strength & Spiritual Vibes Surround

With Eyes That Are Turquoise Green
And Words That Are Divine And Clean
Out To Rise Up Mankind
And Free Us From Babylon
Aswan The Lioness
Protector Of The Lair
Empress To The Throne

Positive Vibes, Positive Thinking
Brings A Positive Meaning
To A Positive Life

A Lover of Words

A native Jamaican heart,
  Now living in the U.S.A.
Blessing us with his talent,
  Each and every single day.

A great father to his children,
  And a husband to his wife.
With a love for poetry,
  He’ll be a great poet for life.

With a love for simple living,
  Nestled in the South is preferred.
Christopher Higgins is our friend,
  And a passionate lover of words.
