Tugboat Annie's

A tropical poem

-    - Tugboat Annie’s - - 

Boats line the rickety piers

All around her cove by the mangroves

With twinkly white lights strung

Above with love

 

Rasta’s reggae fills the air

With care as her steel drums

Pulsing off-beat casts a

Powerful hex on her decks

 

Sweet rum runners

Flow freely

Knocking her thirsty

Patrons’ toes-up

With one dixie cup

 

You and me

Rocking to the beat

Under her full moon

In our bare feet 

Author's Note

Those long summer nights!

Beautifully simple, totally sinful...all in all, a win-full.

It sounds like party time! It's a very upbeat poem with words of flare and charm! It was a pleasure reading this happy and cheerful poem!

Really good poem of such an interesting night. I like how well you describe each emotion and event. This imagery puts a really good picture in my head

[Yari Garcia (Older Prof..]

This was fun to read, as are many of your poems. This poem is very "being on an island far away from tourist traps".

[Poetic Beauty]

I love the last stanza and the toes up part is funny. This is very descriptive and gets into all the senses.
