Hawaii

Caren, whose poetry sings with grand plumage, swims with bouquets of flowers and such. You inspire me! And aloha to William :) HAWAII Bird of paradise, plumeria, jasmine, orchids, gardenia, hibiscus, primrose. Aloha sea — paradise welcomes thee. Cup of gold, elephant’s ear, fuchsia and firecrackers. Lantana, glory bush, pineapple and Waikiki. Queen Emma lily, prickly pear, silversword and sugarcane. Hawaii islands erupting with ecstasies — scents that rise the temperature, hues that squeal with desire, cascading sounds of God’s mirth, adventure on steroids. Come in, ebb and flow in dugout boats - leis floating upon the deep-blue skies. Your hearts are pounding drums. Don’t be shy. Grab this shelf of paradise. Don’t let go. Aloha friends! Let’s all be friends. Planes fly in. Koa, coconut, ‘ohi’ a lehua, candlenut, monkeypod, noni, and lemon-scented gum. Mahalo nui!* O’ahu, Maui, Kaua’i, Big, Lana’i and Moloka’i — find your serenity, your northern shore, the allure of life. Grab yourself a blue hawaii, piña colada, mai tai, mimosa. Fill your cups with Eden’s fruit. 8/19/2020 *thank you very much ma-hah-lo-noo-ee)

I am enthusiastic that I have inspired you Kim. I am thrilled! This i s so beautiful! It makes me want to get on a plane and fly to Hawaii immediately, and believe it or not I was there once and did not like it much. But now you have changed that for me. This is incredibly enticing and makes Hawaii sound like FUN!

I was in my 20's with little kids. We loved boogie boarding at the beaches, driving around the island...seeing the North Shore. Watching people leap from a beautiful waterfall, free luau, sweetest pineapple, celebrating with leis, etc..
