Sijo of Good Measure, sponsor Hilo Poet
Born of Autumn, hair like wheat, honeymoon babe - right on time. Mom and Dad underneath the limbo pole - winners-on-high. In descending gondola, my birth had no notion of lovers. Sparkle of snowflakes against window pane; my reflection. A copper penny tossed in air; will it freeze, or will bus steal show? The scent of snow; the kick of flakes; I’m racing my shadow. Honeysuckle ascent and bees are buzzing; sometimes annoying. The stingers you want - paired up; besides, I’m a wallflower. “I remember you,” a confession at a reunion. Becoming a dark-brunette; in the heat, the length shortened. Summer fun seventy-seven; Sun In yields red highlights. Sooner than later a sailor will find seasons of Aloha.
