The+Tropics+in+New+York-Theme

The theme of this poem is about the speaker talking about his memories from his jamaican roots. He now lives in New York so his only way to remember life back home in jamaica is through the fruit. Since New York has that fast paced busy life and jamaica is more calm and an easy way of life. So by looking at the fruit he remembers the differents smells, tastes and visual images of his home country. For instance the dewy dawns, Mystical Blue Skies, and Fruit laden trees covered in alligator pears, grape fruits and ripe bananas. He's longed for his familiar ways to be returned to him so bad that he started to cry. He could no longer keep his eyes open and graze over everything.
