Trending September Day 20

no summers
just Caribbean breezes
no winters either

fallen blossoms
on the paved walk

leaf cutter ants
they have a mind of their own
carrying cuttings

some faithful ladies arrange
vases for their church altar

automatic doors -
the intimated welcome
to grocery shoppers

persistent honking of horns
Sunday cooking gas sellers

polling day
the longest lines
for stained fingers

delicious! watermelons
did i mention, the red team won

kiskadee
this bird singing out its name
kis ka ke ee ee

as if the night was too long
an earth tremor before dawn

fragments of peace -
one aeroplane flying high
two grackles low

in the cooling of evening
to sit on the back steps nice

caterpillars
the way they cling sun or rain
comfort of leaves

in the torrent of raindrops
memories childhood paper boats


❧✿❧


near palm fronds wave to
distant verdant mountains

after many years
from opposite directions
to meet in the street

under large umbrellas
the doubles vendors

a can of beans -
the flip side of a label
to write a haiku

coin toss
the captain says
we play

the dare of youth to reason
game of cricket in the street

I will be visiting friends at the Poetry Pantry today

HYPE

stark sunlight
the concrete sidewalk hot with
incentive to win

The Great Race circle
of players and fans hitch
their boats for display

no time to wallow
in despair; pounding the beat
calypso music

scatter the strain
of waiting anxiety
illuminate fun

striking a chord of neighbourhood gaiety

Sunday savvy
--gillena cox

For many, Sunday is a day of reflection; after a busy working week, comes Sunday; many put aside time to go to church, others just to read the Sunday newspaper. A good day to gently swing in your hammock, those of us who have one, recline in a comfortable chair, plop down on a beach towel, etc etc etc. What's special about all of these, and similiar quiet Sunday activities? Such persons seem to, and may be chided for, doing nothing; but really, a deep contemplative action is taking place.

What are you reflective about this Sunday? for me its all that nice vibe out on the main road yesterday, during promotion for Great Race August 24th 2013. Revisit Great Race 2012 Website
