Happy birthday, dear Erica, 
I pray that you are free from harm; 
I hope you're safe in your area, 
With the help of God's loving arm.

Happy birthday, Sister Michelle, 
Unproductive is author's head; 
A writer goes through a dry spell, 
Yielding not what is expected.

When I think of Christmas
I think of sweet melody
Singing and dancing
Parang, Parang

Family gathering, great unity
Moving from house to house celebrating

Sharing and giving
Mama cooking
Everything finger liking
Party of the year
T&T Christmas...

Longings

I wish I could see Teresa
met her in Trinidad
She came from St Luzia 
Wore a flower in her hair
like women do in Hawaii 
I had lost my glasses
We looked under the bed
Her body was a temple
We worshipped that god 
At dawn we’re formal
She wore a fresh flower
In her hair

Red is the red rum
and blooms of chaconia…
the Scarlet Ibis

Black is the black gold
and dark souls of the slave ships…
the pitch in the lake

White is the cricket
and old bones of lost Empire…
ghosts of Trinidad


   Written: July 2015


Note: pictured is the flag of
         Trinidad & Tobago....

Jacks are played in Israel.
Jacks are played in Spain.
Jacks are played in Texas
And in the Florida rain.

Jacks are played in Korea
And played by kids like us.
Jacks are played in Hawaii.
Stop making all that fuss!

Jacks are played in Singapore.
Somalia and Zimbabwe too.
Jacks are played in Trinidad.
And probably Timbuktu....

M-oon and sun both glow
I-n opposite time of the day; 
C-omforting the forlorn sorrow, 
H-aving brightened the gray.
E-ach sea tide gets high or low, 
L-ight and warmth always stay; 
L-ife's satellites won't be gone, 
E-njoy the glint of moon and sun.

How I long to see the sunrise,
How I thirst for the ocean.
My feet weary,
My eyes tired,
My soul weakens. 
Oh mother nature! 
Once so kind to me,
When you bore me 
Upon thee earth
No better place,
No better haven.
Sweet melodies,
Cheerful laughter,
Children playing,
Steel band rehearsing.
Trinidad the place of my birth
Childhood memories
That cannot be erased
Friendship formed,
Bonds unbroken, 
Time frozen....
