I'm sorry lava got your house, but your tanka is a nice memento. Also, do you know what has happened to Rico? Lots are worried.

Sadly, it became my inheritance when my sister passed in 2013. Now I'm only a landowner of memories as my tanka portrays my friend. I seen his post sometime ago, and I believe he doesn't live on my island of Hawaii but on Oahu where Honolulu's located, and where Connie Marcum Wong had lived. Btw, our volcano has recently lessened the concerns of our civil defense officials. Aloha William
