The Colors of the Caribbean Sea

Hi! This is a poem I wrote in Jamaica about the colors of the Caribbean sea. Yes, I know I do a lot of poems! Anyway, I hope you like it! Thank you for reading, and please comment!

The colors of waves capped with foam

And the sails of the sailboats as they roam

Shall forever frustrate

Yet I cannot extricate

A way to describe

The beauty; I tried

Azure, peacock, cerulean, teal

Light fades to dark, so remote, sealed

I swept my brush across the sky, but my picture was a paltry farce of the mighty sea

Compared to the majesty in the colors spread before me

I tried to capture the colors, with brush, pen, and word

All my efforts came to naught, all my prayers to describe it; unheard

All heaven gave me, was the pounding of powerful waves against the shore

The sound only teased me, how could I describe such beauty, without more?

So I feasted my eyes upon this sight

Many pictures I snapped, though I could not do it justice, with all our modern might

As I turned, the sun began to set

I looked back once, I shall never forget

A tear of joy and sadness too

Rolled down my cheek, to look upon the shades of beautiful blue

Nature played its tricks on me

Never shall I doubt the might and majesty

Of the colors of the Caribbean Sea
