Nutsman

-

As I am cleaning up, poking through things, figuring out what to keep, changing my idea of what is precious and just dumping, I am finding a lot of my writings.  It seems that somewhere along the line I began trying my hand at haiku.  As you know traditionally haiku is written in  17 'on', (the Japanese word for its phonetic sounds) ( I call this meter) of  of 5 7 5  and has a seasonal reference i.e. it speaks to things of nature.


Well, haiku ain't traditional no more.   I only reach de first 5 and by my title you know my 'seasonal' reference.  A nutsman is always around in TnT.  He's a traditional figure! Lol!

    I hope he is not selling his nuts. I trust he is selling peanuts, fresh or salted. As the man used to say ( in my day) " Somebody called me, nuts, peanuts, fresh and salted. Somebody called me?

Easter Sunday Musings

I am still at the stage of life where I wonder at the creation of life: how did this world form?  There must be other worlds, I won't be so arrogant as to believe that Earth is the only world.  How did the God, in which I believe create this world and for what purpose?  Why did he put me here, in this time, at this place?   Did my soul really choose this life?  Could it not have made a better selection  :/?  Yes, I am at the beginning.

After the rains

Good day!  What a beautiful day the Lord has made!  We have experienced our miracle, that of being alive and kicking today! I posted part of these comments below in response to Philo Alexis Baptiste's statement and it will be my blog of the day.  I want us to be creative and find solutions to this continual problem, which may not be so specific to Trinidad and Tobago as it may seem. _______________________ I am yet to hear government has begun work on straightening rivers, strengthening their banks , enforcing the laws that restrict building development above a certain feet and in general putting into effect mitigation practices to abate this annual flooding.  When will Cabinet sit and organize this?  All well and good to assist in the short-term but what medium to long-term measures are being designed and implemented?
