 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.

caps tossed in the air
exhausted winners emerge -
its okay to dance

❧✿❧

 caps tossed in the air
a sunny day welcomes cheers
smiles and bird songs 

exhausted winners emerge
a game well played by
winners and losers

its okay to dance
when the rhythm catches you
just don't run away

 remember when
the other side of the screen
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
