sunrise
brush strokes of orange
slight in hue

chirping already
an azure melody
those morning birds

anointing the day
Valentines Day with
more love vibrations


❧✿❧

sunrise
the moon lingers
loving blue skies

brush strokes 
of orange
to add to the mayhem

slight in hue
the blush of a 
a lover's kiss in public

❧✿❧

chirping already
those time clocks
those kiskadees

an azure melody
even the soundest dreamer
awakens

those morning birds
ah
those morning birds

❧✿❧

anointing the day
in a messiahood 
of giving

Valentines Day with
its chocolates and roses
and chocolate roses

more love vibrations
dear Earth
we need more much more

I'm closing my blog Caribbean Kigo Kukai

I'll be introducing a new meme - a Monday meme, not here, but, at my blog 'verses' from Monday February 16th 2015, i invite you all to stop over any Monday


I'm coughing so much, and though i'm medicating, just have to let it run its course. Still its Valentines Day; wishes to all for much love in your lives


Have a nice Saturday, its Carnival Saturday here, and though i poem the Carnival i don't practice, have been out of it a long time now; you can revisit and view some photos i took of a carnival 2010, band passing through St James.


for love enters
the bud of every dawn...
we blossom

I prefer it bittersweet and hot. But sometimes it has to be white chocolate.

Jouvert, in Trinidad and Tobago, dawns the Carnival bachannal; when mud and mas are corollaries, and this has been so, seemingly forever. Then, early in the new millenium (2007), enter chocolate; the new jouvert icon


the jouvert band--
gyrating chocolate covered
humans

warming up with cocoa
and extra cream

Hot chocolate, yummy, or as I have on my blog, hot cocoa. Growing up we didn't have these mixes that come with sugar, only unsweetened cocoa which my mother mixed with milk and added sugar to taste. For extra richness, a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Hot Chocolate

For over 3000 years, Chocolate like gold, has had a universal appeal...

the telephone booth-
remember the coin return
and no connection
--gillena cox

My paternal grandmother, Veronica Mitchell (many years deceased), used to grind cocoa beans which she would shape into cocoa logs and balls, to be used for making hot chocolate. She sold them, along with herbs and spices in the old Chaguanas market

out in the street
the barking dog chasing after
passing cars
