LITERATURE : NATURE [POEM]

NATURE – H.D Carberry

         L1... We have neither summer nor winter

         L2...Neither Autumn and Spring

         L3...We have instead the days

         L4...When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields  - Magnificently

         L5...The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs

         L6... And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies

         L7... And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds

         L8... Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees

         L9... And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.

         L10... But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom

         L11... When the bushes are full of the sounds of bees and the scent of honey

         L12... When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air

         L13... When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars

         L14... And beauty comes suddenly and  the rains have gone
