Chantal Gumbs Poems

I remember rubbing you from your mother’s womb
Every minute she’d bawl for her belly saying “this pain ah kill me”!
With gentle hands I tickled your tummy
With loving hands I massaged your feet
...

I look at you, beautiful, shining with the glaze the sun gave to you
It's as though you are greeting me, so loving, so welcoming
The way you flow, your current, fast as if you're running from something
But yet no one can save you, for they understand not your actions
...

She loves to smile and help out others
But when she's not in the mood she hates to be bothered
She is someone who is friendly
But don't get her mad, for then she becomes deadly
...

Swoosh! Swish! Swoosh! Swish!
Why can't we all be like you?
Just to leave the horrors of the world behind
You say nothing, you are beautiful, peaceful, and when I come by you, your branches open as if to hug me
...

5.

You seem to have no sort of end
No one can stop you, not even to bend
Your length can go on for decades
And your glow never seem to fade
...

Roof! Roof! Roof! That's how you bark
Morning, noon and after dark
What a lovely pet indeed you are
That's why I love driving with you in my car
...

The Best Poem Of Chantal Gumbs

My Dearest Nephew...

I remember rubbing you from your mother’s womb
Every minute she’d bawl for her belly saying “this pain ah kill me”!
With gentle hands I tickled your tummy
With loving hands I massaged your feet
With caring thoughts I rubbed your forehead
Not knowing you were in there saying thank you, Aunty!

Your journey to this world must have been lonesome
Bored in this dark and lonely thing, nothing to do nor see
But somehow you knew you were not alone
You knew this was not your permanent residence
That you would someday be free…
And mommy would no longer be in suspense

The day came when you were finally here!
Fear left and our hearts were filled with cheer
The sky, swollen with emotions from St.Kitts, Tortola and England!
You accomplished more work in 9 months than many do in their lifetime
You made mothers- grandmothers and siblings-uncles and aunts
You made grandmothers-great grandmothers and aunties and uncles -great

Although I haven’t seen you in person my Dearest Nephew
I look forward to holding, bathing, feeding and playing with you
To seeing you cry and making you laugh
Now 5 months and already a little man
But until then…see you soon,
Your biggest fan…
Aunty Chantal
