Nature - H.D CARBERRYWe have neither Summer nor

Winter

Neither Autumn nor Spring.

We have instead the days

When the gold sun shines on the

lush green canefields-Magnificently.

The days when the rain beats

like bullet on the roofs

And there is no sound but thee

swish of water in the gulliesAnd trees struggling in the high

Jamaica winds.

Also there are the days when

leaves fade from off guango

trees

And the reaped canefields lie

bare and fallow to the sun.

But best of all there are the days

when the mango and the

logwood blossom

When bushes are full of the

sound of bees and the scent

of honey,

When the tall grass sways and

shivers to the slightest breath

of air,

When the buttercups have

paved the earth with yellow

stars

And beauty comes suddenly and

the rains have gone.

But best of all there are the days

when the mango and the logwood

blossom

When bushes are full of the sound of

bees and the scent of honey,

When the tall grass sways and

shivers to the slightest breath of

air,

When the buttercups have paved the

earth with yellow stars

And beauty comes suddenly and the

rains have gone.

flowers of mango trees and logwood

blossom. He uses imagery of sound

and smell to illustrate abundant life and

activity in the bushes when the sound

of bees and the scent of honey add to

the charm and beauty in Jamaica. He

describes the fields filled with lovely

yellow buttercups. All this happens

when the rains have stopped and thebeauty if nature emerges once again.
