Beautiful land of Borinquén
Puerto Rico, island of my origin
Land of the Mighty and Noble Lord
Precious pearl greatly adored
Flowery garden under a warming sun
Land where God gave me my first breath
Please bury me there upon my death
Loved and are loved, now & forever
Beautiful land of Borinquén
Island of enchantment & much pride
Spanish, Black & Taino inside
In your distress I feel hopeless
And if I could rip my heart wide open
My love for you I cannot hide
Beautiful land of Borinquén

- Comment from author about the poem: I'm torn inside by the images of distress my country is going through. I wrote this Rondeau poem to render honor to a beautiful country full of love. I admit, I don't master the meter nor the iambic pentameter, but I do have enough passion to render a poem strong enough to capture the heart of its reader. I used, rather than the traditional metrical feet, lines based on the number of syllables (syllabic verse) with rhyme. This Rondeau poem really expresses my heart. Enjoy!

Looks good - the pic and the poem R!
Thank you for reading my poem. Be blessed!
Fabulous tribute - could almost be a national anthem - great work Roberto.
Now knowing your strict adherence to doing things right, I gather that your comment is an affirmation that the poem has merits. Thank you!
You sure can Roberto - it's a cracker !!
I fear my penchant for presactness may be becoming a little overstated.
