 123 go!

One two three, go!

Three sides to a triangle,

Third time's a charm.

A trinity of mountains,

The explorer named us Trinidad.

Land of steelpan so we transformed,

A twentieth century gift,

To a world loving music,

As much as we do.

One two three, go!

DAWN AND QUIET
Loud, the voices of men, in the quiet street,
And early morning noises from garbage trucks;
Workers risen so diligently, on their feet,
Clear the way for another day;
That ritual commotion in the quiet street,
Announce the return, from the realm of sleep;
Yet, still not heard, a birdie’s tweet;
Day in, day out, there will be rubbish;
The tropical air, cool, will greet,
Those coming in from the night,
Conscious, to early risers in the quiet street.

Written for Kerry's prompt at
Kerry Says ~ Let's Count on Our Fingers & Toes

Challenged to post a poem on the theme of 'Numbers and/or Numerology'
I choose to dwell on the number Eleven.
DAWN AND QUIET is a poem of 11 lines written in the form called The FOLD which i created in an experimental online exercise in 2007.
