Soft Winds of Camiguin

Fanning out like a preening peacock's tail,
  the shimmering palm trees line up the shore
    as if screaming out to the waves, "encore!"

Yonder, draped and shawled in moist, dark-green moss,
  stands tall a majestic mahogany,
    its leaves hum to the breeze a melody!

Slender-stemmed leaves wag in the whistling wind,
  feathers float, in little swirls they flutter,
     in the grass, hops and stops the grasshopper!
