Barbados Beckoning Writers’ Cramp

At a family gathering
Sam Adams talked
About travel plans
Making vacation itineraries.

Set the clock
For dawn
Looking at the fallen leaves on the ground /b}
winter storm warnings
Dark nights ahead.

He announced

it is time to escape to the islands.

To escape the winter blues


"Barbados is beckoning
The rum sours are waiting "

He could hear the steel pan bands
playing on the beach
in his mind.

Author Note: I served in Barbados from 2007 to 2010. Time for a return to the islands.
He put on the the old classic
steel drum song

"come back to Barbados
come back to me "
