- My Caribbean Poem
-
- White sandy beaches and warm
tropical seas
- Palm trees swaying in the gentle
breeze
-
- Mum and dad dancing to the sweet
reggae beat
- Laughing children paying happily
in the street
-
- People sweltering under the hot,
glaring sun
- Cool yourselves down with a
coke-and white rum
-
- Flying fish jumping out of the
spray
- Rasta blowing conch shells in
the sea, near the bay
-
- Mouth watering mango, jelly
coconuts and honey
- Cent and dollar is the Caribbean
money
-
- Warm showers of heavy rain
- Ackee and saltfish with plantain
-
- Mountains and flowers, birds and
trees
- Perfectly surrounded by the
Caribbean seas
-
- Clear skies, and a beautiful
view
- I love the Caribbean and so will
you

- Caribbean
Poem
-
- A place that’s relaxing,
exciting and fun
- With warm grainy sand and hot
radiant sun
- The Warm breeze flows and
brushes my feet
- And the mangoes taste like sugar
cane so exotic and sweet
-
- The sandy beach goes on for ages
and ages and
- It make me happy as I write on
these pages
- To hear the waves of the blue
sea crash so wild
- But the water tickles my toes
and make me smile
-
- My mouth waters and my stomach
aches
- For Ackee and Saltfish,
Hard-dough bread and Sugar Cakes
- My eyes are filled with the
wonder of this place
- So full of beauty and so much
space
-
- The big palm trees stretch and
sway and sway
- Filled with coconuts and
pineapples I could eat all day
- I wish I could climb them all
the way up to Heaven
- But I’m having Flying Fish and
Sweetbread for dinner at Seven
-
- As the sun begins to disappear
behind the horizon
- The sky fills up with colours of
celebration
- Red, Purple, orange and yellow
- Make me fell happy, relaxed and
mellow
-
- Across the waters flows the
music of the land
- Soca, Reggae and Calypso move my
feet in the sand
- There’s no place so beautiful,
and so perfect then
- Heaven on Earth, found in the
Caribbean

- Imagine
-
- Imagine..sitting on a sandy
white beach
- A waiter arrives “fresh
coconut water, one each?”
-
- Imagine…the sea dazzling green
- Schools of flying fish, coral
heads and turtles in between
-
- Imagine…barbecue on the sea
shore
- Spicy chicken, ackee grilled
prawns, crabs lobster, sweet bread and so much more
-
- Imagine…being so hot, wearing
a bikini and crop top
- Swimming endlessly with fish and
friends, deep sea diving and avoiding the “bends”
-
- Imagine..a wonderfully colourful
festival
- Dancing, calypso, smile and
shouts no worries at all
-
- Imagine..climbing a palm tree
watching the sun go down
- Sipping some ginger beer before
taking an old taxi to town
-
- Imagine…strangers quickly
becoming friends
- Rounders and cricket, sand
castles and sea walls, not wanting it
all to end
-
- Imagine…having to say goodbye
to all of this, the reggae on the plane
- Bringing a tear to my eye
