This lovely verse brought back memories of my stay there over forty years ago. Lovely place and people.We went on a yellow bus, in big letters on the side of it was THE BUS. The Mayor apparently had the words put on the bus for his young daughter. I thought that was so sweet and simple bringing a smile to peoples faces... Thank you For the memory Caren ...

Before I could even finish your poem, you had me binging on Hawaii, inspiring murder and dreams (reference to a couple poems) When I was there I wish I had the foresight to see Queen Liliuokalani’s crazy quilt! Will I ever make it back to paradise?!
