William Kelii Kekaula Poet Haibun

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Paradise Psalms

Paradise Psalms

Island drums midst strewn drafts, echoes,
Involved labyrinths summon by themes,
Some rhapsody erupts, purging rocks,
Every village, swelling amid chants,
Empty huts, crowds around fires,
Swayed hips, held lips sparks,
Duality exposed in harmony,
Illuminates isles inherent,
Entertaining charisma,
Captivating trusting,
Vessels in passing,
Amongst alluring,
Souls escorted,
To a dreamt,
Paradise.

ship swells midst idled 
labyrinths heed gifted calls
answers anchored hearts

Paul Callus July 3, 2020 at 1:41 PM I have to admit that this is the first Haibun I have read presented in such a creative way, William. I like the title with its play on words, and the imagery filled content too. The closing lines are very appropriate. ~ Regards // paul William Kelii Kekaula July 7, 2020 at 3:53 PM I am appreciative for your indulgence, Paul, having to read during these quarantine times of ours, many thanks truly -- Aloha~@William

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri June 26, 2020 at 10:55 PM Wow I love love shape poetry and this one is admirably crafted . I find it very hard to do so I'm awed how you could do it so perfectly. And the title is so attractive as well. It seems to be about a tribal ritual dance on an island, fabulous how you portray it. Kudos. ..............-------Plz pleez do read my newest prose and read the related data and info too further down below it in comment section or also in the short story section where I have uploaded it.
