Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rispetto

Notes About The Poem

Island Aloha

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.

Bette Bavington February 22, 2019 at 4:00 PM 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.
