Caribbean love

Roosters crowing
Moonshine glowing
Warm winds blowing,
Blue sky's singing
Sunshine gleaming
Rivers streaming
Raindrops trinkling
Ocean's mesmerizing
Fruits bearing,
Fresh vegetation
Great meditation
reggae playing
Soca swaying
Sweet sounds all around
Jerk chicken
Fried fish,
deliciousness fills the air
love is the atmosphere
Simple living
Smiles always giving
No worries or cares
Just love being there!!!!

I have only been to Canada as my world explorations. I know this, it is peaceful there and safer. Here it is all about, I gotta get more money! Show me the money! I am reading a book about living in other countries. Japan is the most expensive, 120 dollars for a melon. Mexico is far cheaper, a pound of fruit there is around 20 cents. You don't want to live near the border of the US, too many lawless drug lords with trigger fingers.

Awesome! Memories...so deep it brings a pang of pain in my heart! I have not been to Carribean but I know the rhythm of the place being one coming from an Island paradise..."slow but colourful and lively" Your poem brought back memories of my childhood...thank you dear:
