I see 3 little birds
landing softly
on the bird feeder
and it’s hard
not to hear
a gentle reggae lilt
in the background.
Just climb onto the back of my Harley
And we shall ride to the songs of Bob Marley,
In no time at all
We'll be in Senegal,
Though I might stop for lunch in Kigali.
a waterfall flows
from mountainside to ocean -
distant reggae song
clear waters light sky -
where blue meets turquoise vista
a swallowtail hums

Starting the day to a reggae beat.
Sun is in my face, oh yes!
Wishing I was at an island beach.
My feet are moving, oh yes!
My heart is gone, fully unleashed,
bouncing off the walls, oh yes!
Be ready students, here come the teach!
Season your salads
Spice them up with reggae
Same goes for entrées
Mademoiselle gourmet
Leave your food bland
It lacks razzmatazz
If you like meals that sparkle
Add a few notes of jazz

Thanks for your support
reverberating night,
raucous in smoke filled room,
repetitive drum beat,
resonant voice arose,
recapturing lost soul,
rock to wisdom of song,
remember Bob, no cry!!

7 lines each with 6 syllables.
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

* altered slightly after the contest
My teenage son proudly wears a Che Guevarra beret
and belts out liberation songs from Bob Marley's reggae,
as he fixes the sink
I hum along and think:
freedom, duty, twin bullets in life's most deadly roulette!
REGGAE
Reggae music genre,
rhythmic cell of eight beats,
repeated short patterns.
Represents a movement,
religious in nature.
Roots of moral lessons,
rich spiritually.

Likes listening to music by Bob Marley.
He has scheduled time that mustn't delay
His passionate phase with Reggae!

Is fascinated with panels - Solar.
Science is full of projects that (for her) are fun.
And she has a smile that beams like the sun!

Sea tides undulate
Salt saturates wide valleys
Fish leap helplessly
Seagulls laugh at moment’s spare
Desert sand surrounds
Lonely land mass residing
Brim with tourism
Festivals ignite the flame
Native culture dance
Parties prosper all around
Sun enlightens all
Skin tans from ash to brown dust
Reggae music blasts
Life turns to relaxation
This is paradise
I free my mind
and let the music
take control of my
ears take my mind
to mystical heights
bumpin my head to
the funky sounds
twist another one
let marley show
you all the love
let the music hit you
for it won't ever hurt
this mellow mood
has got me so burn
one down and feel
the sensi relieve all
the pain now close
your eyes let the
song play

Love for poetry,
savvy. This identity
loves controversy
Football and women,
conversation, love-making.
R & B, Reggae,
inspired meditation,
Four Tops, The Temptations
Taking vacations,
road trips across this nation..
Next stop, the ocean!!!

On a ship so white with skies of blue,
we sailed on seas calm and true.
The music played with a reggae sound,
and everyone danced around.
As the island came into sight,
we both smiled with such delight.
White limestone roofs, royal palms tall,
pink sandy beaches covered it all.
The memories will last a lifetime through,
until we can sail again on the ocean blue.

Rudeboy working in the street,
no money for his food or shoes for his feet
East Coast Reggae makin his crime bitter sweet
Too much worry for dem to retreat
Ska music reggae share the same old beat
Two-Tone suit get dirty in the street
but Rudeboy keeps him head up and keeps skankin with him feet
Bastar' Bastar'! Beat down the natty dredd Officer
Pickitup, pickitup with him CooKoo Maka Stick!
Jammed some fun into one day
Aboard kayaks, paddling play
Mangroves, stingless jelly fish
And in my head, a hand itched
In beats, a beach reggae-tunes
Crashing waves upon the dunes
As curling smiles seemed to mock
Monster cruiser at the dock
Yellow sun did set too fast
Dashing night on anchor cast
Awhirl the sea’s brooding deep
Yesterdays pile on the keep
(9/12/2020: '04 Carver 420 Mariner; DMS)
Hidden behind the clouds, trying to illuminate my dreary day
Simply a brush with the rays and I'm feeling much better
The closing of my eyes a new day has quickly begun
And again I'm "Catching The Sun"
Such a beautiful day on the way maybe soft rock, reggae, or jazz
I will play, no rain in the forecast, to squeeze past
The autumn of love
I thought she was the only one, who could make me forget
Catching the sun...
Burning one to a reggae
beat the funky sounds
mixed with a little herb
got me feelin' irie,life's
a little less stressful this
way so join in and dance
the night away with mary
she'll never leave you low
she'll bring you higher then
thought possible so mary
shall we share another long
kiss suck you in and breath
you out slow get you mixed
into my blood so my feet
won't stop moving to these
songs written only for you

When fire needs friends
it does not go to homes
the highway and paths it ignores
there friends do live not
Fire will travel to the bush
there a lot of freedom flourishes
plenty of oxygen, food and drink
to fill its stomach it finds
In the bush fire meets friends
broken wood and plastics
poor old leather and hair dregs
fire sings as friends dance
In the bush fire sings and whistles
His friends dance reggae in smoke
If I was a little kettle drum
Daily I would sit on my charming bum,
Never letting you be dour or glum
Playing reggae music for my mum.
I might possibly taste flavored rum.
Pretend to be all kinds of dumb.
I would play music in this slum,
Starting up daily with a little hum.
You might become my favorite chum.
If you play me gently, with your thumb.
Do not mess me up or leave one crumb.
Or I will not be your little kettle drum.
Hanging 'round down Trenchtown
Bob and me we had a yearning
he only had to signify 'Rastafari'
soon Bob and me we were a'burning
jamming the live-long day
reggae music was a'fire
wasting the night away
as the moon looked on
playing on the waves
Bob and me we were free
he and me we were a'flying
while the world was turning
no woman no time for crying
no disturb Bob and me
it's only the midnight 'erb we're burning
You were the heart of us,
Throat of musicians,
King of reggae,
A mad singer,
Created hearts on guitar,
Breathed love on each note,
Cannabis on your lips,
Fragrance's to music,
Weed stain on your lips,
Symbol of ecstasy,
Long curly hairs,
Frills your notes.
you were the 'one love',
Notes were flesh and, meat for us,
To chew and swallow.
you never died,
Dipped yourself ,cell by cell,
In celestial music,
For angels to dance .
On his table of Formica,
A once ardent Christian Micah
Drops reggae from Jamaica;
Newly, Peter Tosh’s great liker
No more Soulless Demons’ Striker:
Paul in Thessalonica…
For ten years in America,
Eyes on the female Hitch hiker,
Mid-course rides turning her liker!
Have you been to Madagascar?
I’d had to and lasted The Scar…”
The First, we’ve heard, shall be The Last:
In his own case, a truth, too fast…
Micah for Marley’s Jamaica.
Lively interludes of myself,
this I ask of you--
synthesize the main pieces of my own music
those beats of rhythm,
the low and high notes
that resound in my heart
and hum the symphony of my
spirit--
fly, my reggae tunes and primal melodies
release the Marley tempo
invite me once again and again
to welcome the environ;
to harvest life's juicy choral pulp!
