Sara J. Figueroa Poem

Island Dream

Like an emerald in the water 
Like a pearl in the sea 
Puerto Rico is a dream 
An Island dream 

A magical place 
Were serenading coquis 
sing Puerto Rico's lullaby 
from dusk till dawn 

The beautiful palm trees 
Greet you through the day
With their waving fronds 
Like fans in mid air 

And the cool breezes 
of the Caribbean waters 
With their splendid rolling waves 
Entice you to their waters
A refreshing vacation from reality 

Turn around to see 
the majestic mountain 
The rain forest calls your name 
The mysterious fog 
hovers over the summit 
It's the home of the God Yuquiyu

  1. I like much island dream. Each sentence expresses how wonderful it is Puerto Rico. The island dream poem makes the reader interested in learning more about Puerto Rico. Is a small island but with great treasures. I think Puerto Ricans are like the coqui, they die outside of this beautiful island. Many people want to achieve their dreams outside your country. Puerto Ricans are different we want to achieve our dreams in our island. We have a beautiful environment, excellent weather, the song of the coqui and the best the island dream.
