Saint Ann's Bay - JAHM Poetry
This town is settlement and capital of Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica is beautiful land and deserves more cherish
This is land of musicians, they are nothing less than magicians
This town is birth land of Musicians Floyd Lloyd and Burning Spear, when we add value to our birth place it gives birth to happy and emotion full tear
Christopher Columbus named it as Santa Gloria, sometimes history sounds as euphoria.
The first Spanish settlement was Sevilla la Nueva, like it was established as first antenna
Established by Juan de Esquivel, in the list of establishments by the Spain in the Americas, St Ann's Bay became the third capital
Historic changes and entries are not easy to forget or never forgettable aspect, some leaves hurt and some respect
Old creations and places narrates a story of times, listen carefully you will find connected rhymes.
In seventeenth century town gradually developed into fishing port, new development needs support
People seek this town for more traditional Jamaican experience, comparisons leads to re-experience
Places hold learning phases, through exploration knowledge raises
People have potential to reshape any place, for changes leave space.
Saint Ann's Bay is also home to Jamaica’s first prison, it's a reflection of early authority and position
It was a Fort first, in eighteenth century converted into jail, this is unique detail
Marcus Garvey, one of Jamaica’s most famous citizen was born here, you can see a statue in his honour
Town which have so much to display, it's Saint Ann's Bay.

History is inevitable especially since some of our predecessors have given a very good title to an area, I totally agree with this.
Yes. Thank you so much for your continuous kind response and effective Engagement. Keep up the good work and stay blessed.
Historical "facts" like this annoy me. Talking about all these "firsts" like if there weren't people there before.
I still appreciate the share, just needed to insert my comment here to remind anyone who may take the time to read that the colonizers were not first...
Your response is really appreciable and it's true. In a way we never know what is true and what is not because we haven't seen it personally and reality could be whole different.
I am trying to learn about Jamaica and Researching about that and whatever i am understanding and getting to know i am sharing it in my own poetic way. But every research is open for "Re-Search. Stay blessed.
