ALOHA to my friends in INDIA, I hope this message is received with the understanding that recent interactions have vastly expounded because many have participated with my sponsored contest and as such, there is a cause that the synergies, on the most part, is protonic. Those I've been communicating, for various reasons, all pertaining to poetrysoup.com, have represented the people of INDIA, in the greatest measure to overflowing. The women are pretty due to the extension of their beautiful souls, the men ingratiate their resolve with such a passionate outcome that they give rise of what makes "INDIA is great...", and due to witnessed efforts, they have added the words, "INDIA is great...and is greater!" And for your charming children, delight your shoulders, enchantingly. I wish only to meet as many Indians as possible, but alas, I have but one life. I had the privilege to shake one Indian hand, and that was with Madame Indira Gandhi, for she had brought an elephant from India to grace our zoo here in the islands, some many years ago--of course. Yes, Hawaii is beautiful I suppose, but in a way, the islanders do not exist, for it has mountain ranges for hearts to climb, flowery valleys for romance to blossom, sparkling rivers to mirror your charms, beaches with surging waters that tantalize souls it embraces, yet, you will never see me or my fellow islanders, for we have faded and became part of its scene, with the sole purpose to sustain our gracious place in a way that it was designed, just to attract beautiful people to feel our spirit's that are now part of its landscape, welcoming them with Aloha, to our souls within our shores.

What a beautiful post this is to be featured William, honoring India and her people! We share a love for India. Congratulations on having this featured as I would have missed it otherwise. I know I miss so much because this site is so large. How thrilling for you to have met Madame Indira Gandhi. We have so many talented poets here from India I feel privileged to know through their poetry and comments. This letter honors them with your true spirit of Aloha my friend. Blessings and Aloha, Connie xxoo

William, this is a beautiful inviting poem. I have never left the states, always would have wanted to. When time does come my heart just won't leave my home especially now that I am older. Aloha my friend in spirit

Aloha to You, William. Being an Indian I am feeling honored and happy. If I get any scope, I am sure to visit my dream land Hawaii Islands. But chances are remote. But If you ever come to India, please be my guest. Blessing.

Yes, of course--you and your beautiful should grace us with your presence, and in exchange, I will certainly take you up and visit you, if your home is in or around Agra--must visit you know where for I already can feel its beauty ~ Aloha always William

I've been graced of knowing her since my entry to the soup site in April of late--and like you, have shared a wonderful bond as true poets and true friends--if I may be so bold as to say ~ Aloha always William
