Notes About The Poem

Tanka   ---   2025 January 02

 

All Talk

Hawaii fireworks
still deadly and maim for life
like annual debates
Hawaiian language council 
argues o'er Kona coffee

In the end, a bit humorous! I love the movie, “The Descendants,” with George Clooney, a great story of family, grief, Hawaii. I’ve watched a few time…now I want to watch again! Hugs and Happy New Year (to a healthy one), dear William!

A sadden kerfuffle that spins like that between a 45 rpm or 1945. We'll see when the 4th of July rounds about, Kim. Mahalo~William
