Yard Sale of Thoughts

Jamrock

, , ,

Waves polished by sunlight.

After a careful rub,

they have new life.

Rum punch sunset,

clouds a flash-fried yammy.

Moon served round,

a fresh grilled bammy.

Mi have inner luv fi your time.

On the island,

no day like another,

and I’ll admit, it’s hard to match the color

of a west-side party

leaning in

to love each other.

    what a happy, infectious reggae infused song ; had to look up some of the words but I assumed they were foods; I enjoyed the flavor you evoked of the West Indies 🙂

      Yes, indeed. The food was tasty there. I had my first Bammy during the full moon.Thank you, John. I do hope to travel that way again. It was a wild and wonderful trip.

        I hope so, but as way leads to way…I have a lot more written from those few days. Now to find the time to make them into something…hmm.

      Thank you, Cindy. I was able to journal a lot on the island and take those words and images home with me. Cheers to more smoldering sunsets in 2024. 💜
