BARBADOS GIRL ~ BEAUTIFUL !
I come to the House of my Girlfriend
Man friend tellin' I'm fool "Wastin' time with Girl !"
Come on Man ~ Come fish for Golden Snapper
BUT I decide to visit my Golden Girl !
I bring her flowers ~ Her dress is patterned
With love birds ~ she has a ring in each ear
I am ready for her Love and she for mine
NO FISHIN' ~ For her Love ~ I'm now wishin' !
Her body has the scent of Khus Khus grass
The sweet fibres she put between linen sheets
She has washed her mouth with milk for Kissing
She has washed her body with pure water from the well
Now ~ because she does not wish to rush our Love
She offers me plums ~ and glass of date wine !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Caribbean Love ~ BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: This Poem explores the choices a Young Man has to make between courting (20th C word !) and Fishing (etc) with his mates. She is obviously expecting him ~ hence the Preparation ~ so technically he has an obligation to choose His Golden Girl and refute the Golden Snapper ! I know which i would have chosen ! I have visited Barbados and other Caribbean Islands and I can vouch that ~ Caribbean Girls are delicious, Caribbean Poetry is a very rich genre ~ but we don't get much on MPS. If i get good feedback on CARIBBEAN GIRL ~ I will post some more ~ OK Caribbean Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX

Very nice Brian.
Thanks AP ~ It is good subject ~ just crying out for a Love Sonnet ~ BRIAN
Your poem catches the lilt and flavor of the Caribbean exquisitely, Well done, sir!
Thanks LOUIS ~ I agree ~ a Caribbean Poem must have RHYTHM which is why each line is co-syllabic. West Indian Poetry is always sensuous ~ BRIAN
Sounds like a girl from Molokai! Love your poem Brian, and also would like to read more!
THANKS FRED ~ I always post a Spiritual Poem on a Sunday but another Caribbean one on Monday ! Yours BRIAN
My dad has been down there before but I've never left the US. Nice poem Brian!

I have a great girl friend from caribe. She is black and beautiful. I love her very much. She is special. Your poem is special too. You are being inspired about girls.
Thanks MALU i always tell my students (M & F) to respect Ladies and to the Ladies to respect themselves. I tell them that when God had created Adam ~ he stood back and took a close look at him and thought "I can do better than that" ~ AND HE DID ! You are all Daughters of Eve and you are all Beautiful ! Thanks Heaven for LADIES ~ Awesome ! Girls are inspiring ! Hugs ~ BRIAN

Good write Brian. I have never been to the Caribbean but all the people that I have met from there have always been so happy.
Thanks ANDY ~ What you say is true ~ they have brought a JOY to the UK and I love the Gospel Choirs and W I Churches in the UK ~ their worship is uninhibited like their dancing ! When I lived in Leeds we had big W I Street Carnivals and they really know how to Party ! Hope you get a chance to visit ~ Barbados is especially welcoming ! BRIAN
