William Kelii Kekaula Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

**

Poetic Form: Rhyme

Inspired: 2024 July 21

Image: Abracadabra City Park

Abracadabra Day

Forget-me-nots share sighs of For-Heaven-sake's,
from boulevards to avenues, the streets -- speak.
City park use strengthens, as the day lengthens.
Doves charming swarms of drakes, tethering the lakes,
while the awesome vision enlightened the crowds,
frequent strolls beneath middays consoling breaks.
Wandering drifts of cloud-swept vistas abroad.
Smooth gushing sounds that the family film takes
of the small falls that meanders down the creek.
As the day lengthens, city park use strengthens.
Silence climbs, Forget-me-not steads mid handshakes.

Jay Narain July 22, 2024 at 11:23 AM Nice poem. Wandering in the park and adoring flowers is such a charm. William Kelii Kekaula July 22, 2024 at 12:06 PM Unfortunately, my contracted time there was busily brief, and with that circumstance, I did not have such an opportunity for a visit, even though it was across street where I worked, thank you Jay. Aloha William

I can vision the people in the park. they are among the forget Me nots. aloha! /Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu July 22, 2024 at 2:43 PM Aloha! William,I know I would not walk there by myself. I would feel safer with some one walking with me. Aloha! /CDarlene/ William Kelii Kekaula July 22, 2024 at 12:12 PM Only if you walk in the shadows, sometimes even with someone--may not suffice, perhaps your share is a good advice, Darlene. Aloha William Darlene De Beaulieu July 22, 2024 at 10:20 AM Aloha! Central park must be very popular. i heard that it is dangerous to walk there at night alone. Aloha! /Darlene/ William Kelii Kekaula July 21, 2024 at 4:49 PM Yes, Darlene, this is Central Park in New York City midtown Manhattan near 5th Avenue where I worked at The Plaza for a while, years ago, it's the city's creme de le creme.
