Notes About The Poem

All Heart...

Aloha, Connie Marcum Wong

Aloha, Connie Marcum Wong
A fellow islander, here in the State of Hawaii Plain common folks in touch with its aina (land) Noticed by many soupers long before this tadpole swam the pond Well-grounded, skilled with a pen, with a memorable persona, In my view, I became a welcomed homey, charmingly receptive, in a comfortable regular confab of subject subtleties to filling, reflections of a lifetime, From our friends to our families to our Hawaii ~~ ...of a gorgeous floral lei, imagined or realized ...both pales in comparison ...Aloha always ...my blessings, ...Connie
