Island Aloha Tall and lovely palms are swaying island fair within the tropical gentle trade wind's flow as elegant Egrets glide on salty air— then softly land where verdant short grasses grow. At sunset whales are breaching, a sight so rare. Divine Humpbacks swim with little calves in tow. Cast away cold winter's weather to the breeze. Take homeward bound treasures of warm memories. 2-3-19 ~Poem of the Day February 5, 2019~ My Place Multi-Part Easter Prizes ~Second Place~ Sponsor Carolyn Devonshire Thank you so much Poetry Soup Team and all you Poetry Soup Members for your generous wonderful comments and POTD.

Beautiful imagery, Connie,, a perfectly painted picture. I have been to a few of the Hawaiian Islands. My favorite place to be, especially Hawaii, the big island! Thank you for the memory. Congrats on your contest win and POTD!

Really nice imagery. I liked it. It brought back the memory of when I lived in California. The kids and I would watch the whales swim by going south.

Lovely and especially image laden to transport me easily since I was blessed to see much of this myself. It is a lilting walk thru beauty with your pen as guide! So sorry I didn't catch POTD when it was this (truth - I rarely look). Beautiful poem, Connie. Love ... CayCay
