Caribbean Poems

　　Some Caribbean poems are collected here: five in English, one in Spanish, and one in Chinese.
　　上周修改完《加勒比游记》后，又补了几首诗。六个岛，每站各一首，算是用Ｅ文的一个尝试，再加一首七律作结。一般看到的英文诗，大多不象中文近体诗那样一韵到底，多为现代汉语诗的来源和滥觞，有时仅是找不着韵的句子掰成行，以浪费纸的空白来代替音乐的美感和流畅。不过，一向不了解英文诗的格律和意境，这次暂且当顺口溜来写。

　　前站《波多黎各》：
　　Puerto Rico, sand, beach, coco
　　As warm as weather, rhythm, mambo, tango
　　As vivid as from painter, avocado and mango
　　You can enjoy a day, rest on a pillow
　　You can get away, like ocean breeze blow
　　After a sudden shower, skyline rainbow
　　It's an ancient mountain echo
　　From thousands years ago

　　海上第一站《巴贝朵丝》：
　　Come to Barbados
　　Caribbean has never been so close
　　See the blue, see the beach
　　It's the sky you can reach

　　最喜欢第二站的《圣露西亚》，当时玩儿的最全面，诗的内容也比较丰富：
　　Saint Lucia, West Indies' Aloha
　　Black sand beach, red and white villa
　　Tropical garden fuchsia, crystal water aqua
　　Trees of papaya, orchards of banana
　　Drive-in volcano, diving scuba
　　Waterfall spa, Coastal island flora
　　Getaway vista, vacation resort umbra
　　St Lucia, it is my Shangri-La

　　第三个岛安提瓜，没去沙滩，只好借他山之玉（rephrased from Antigua Joe）：
　　A beach always near
　　One per day for a whole year
　　People were born with no fear
　　Who want to die, there is where

　　Seems I had used all the rhymes. This one became the shortest one.
　　第四站《妥妥拉》的诗最简陋，由西班牙语碎缀而成：
　　Arenas en Tortola, mucha mucha musica
　　Playa blanca, una dia romantica

　　第五站《圣托马斯》：
　　A St Thomas day, a Caribbean Saturday
　　An island of getaway, a place to stay
　　Secret beach in Secret Bay
　　Open to sunlight in a ray

　　最后是一首七律，有点流水帐，凑合着看吧：

　　赢得几日赋清闲，远外藏身碧水边。
　　细细银沙加勒比，邈邈绿岛海云天。
　　岸拍碎浪逐千尺，鱼戏飞鸥绕两舷。
　　深地温泉蒸气雾，茫山热带雨林烟。
　　泛舟渔火椰风晚，荡桨荧光月色翩。
　　四季常青瓜果润，三餐必备菜蔬鲜。
　　迎来旭日晨星落，看尽夕阳好梦圆。
　　此去曾留过客影，归来赏雪入新年。
