Notes About The Poem

Hello Honolulu !

Hawaii here I come
not for a day or a week but
for three whole months

I want to really get
to experience the island
meet your friendly people
climb each volcano
try on a grass skirt
dance at your luaus
run along your beaches
snorkle and see your reefs
listen to the whales swim by

No intentions of leaving until I have learned
the smell of each Hawaiian flower
