 de homeless man rests ...

a bench 'round -de-savannah'

under Poui trees

❧✿❧

the Pomerac tree -

fallen pink inflorescence

a natural  carpet

childhood home garden 

a memory of many trees -

a long time ago

fruit trees strong and tall

in the yard where i grew up -

the long rod picker

with salt and pepper

fruit from the Mango Vere tree

eaten green in chow

❧✿❧

the city outskirts -

The Emperor Valley zoo

with bordering trees

under a Bay tree -

Royal Botanic Gardens

note our first kiss

at home paradise -

Guava and Avocado

trees gift us their fruit

my love deserts me -

Plum and Mango trees planted

just sweeten longing

Stations of The Cross

Good Friday in The Hollows -

pink Poui blooming

Easter's a-coming

traffic curbs flowering trees -

the savannah arc

all the trees wear green

circling The Savannah -

after blossoms fall

 Happy Spiritual Shouter Baptist Day 2021

Spiritual Shouter Baptist Day is held in Trinidad & Tobago on 30 March, 

where a public holiday has been in place since 1996. 

Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day commemorates 

the repeal of the repressive Shouter Prohibition Ordinance on the islands, on 30 March, 1951.

Between 1917 and 1951, the law had banned Baptists from practising their religion. 

They could not erect churches or hold meetings, 

and anyone found breaking the law was beaten, arrested and jailed.

a sunny day welcomes cheers

smiles and bird songs 

exhausted winners emerge

a game well played by

winners and losers

its okay to dance

we swooned

remember when

in darkened hall of intrigue

those eyes held us

the other side of the screen

places called  house

pit and balcony

we swooned 

for that was all we could do

those cinema days
