2020 Marathon (Poem #1)

Oh how I love 2020
It’s a year of so much diversity
A state of time
Where there is no Lyme
Oh why oh why
It’s just about time
We get to enjoy the Lyme

A time of solitude
A time of gratitude
A time to subdue
A time to draw back the curtains
A time to look back
A time to get on track

Never a dull moment in 2020
Welcome to the year of diversity
Let’s embrace this new era
A year of uncertainty
A year of change
A year that will soon end
A year that will soon to be the past

Miracles (Poem #8)

It takes a miracle
to endure to come out on top
Its the miracle that gives birth to
Greatness

Its a miracle that gives birth to greatness
Its a miracle that gives grace
Its a miracle that sets free
Its a miracle

Poem 24

His heart was bare as day
he wore a shirt that was almost grey
what a sight to see how is stature
was as tall as a green bay tree
He looked as if he was lost
a steer as if he was all the way in space
making his way a bright he thought
looking for a comforting thought
it was evident that he was depressed
looking for a land of rest
bright lights sparkle in his eyes
he felt that it was time
time to see a brand new day
time to embrace comes what may
lost in the heart of gloom,
but his eyes were set on the glow
oh how he must have felt inside
a rocky place bouncing from side to side.

Poem 23

Lost in Nature
Lost in Life
A fun filled place
So magnificent I can
hardly breathe
the essence takes my breath away.

Entreat me not to leave thee
Nor for sake thy lush ambiance
Embrace your gorgeous candesence
I am at a way behind
just trying to absorb the time.

Poem 22

As I wake
I can see clearly now
all is in sight.

Poem 21

The Horizon is lit
its like a ball of fire
blazing in the morning sky
the beauty that shines
is so awesome
its like a diamond in the sky.

Poem 20

Moments of laughter
moments of fun
running wild in the Caribbean sun
fruits in season
guineap, mangoes, apples and plum

Summer time is here
lets enjoy the fun
Rivers, beaches, sun and sand
Springs, blue holes
flowing from the lush green mountains
so plain to see so much enjoyment

why not come enjoy the fun
Jamaica land we love
a beautiful island surrounded
by fun.

Poem 19

Here I am running down the road
just a top notch girl
taking a morning stroll
words have just a little note
twitching all around my throat
oh how do I sing a song
when all I hear is a rumbling song
spinning round and round my head
is a long but empty wind.

Poem 18

Many moods of life
they seem to tick
so bright
left alone in the rain
shadows hoover
beneath the pain.
