Best Wai Poems

I remember my cherished Wolf Cub pack, 
How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair

I’d rather read something for minutes eight

Too many users online at this time?
Too many files on...

Sweet flowing hands
Sweeping charm
Dancing slowly
Like wings
of a butterfly

His eyes - gentle, perceiving, acknowledging
In the midst of silence, he's aware of her every move

Sliding along 
Shuffles feet
as arms 
go back
Taking snake shape
The great cobra strikes

His lips - challenged, firm yet slightly amused
In the midst of chaos,...

enticing white and pink beaches 
captivating vegetation, food for the gods
served at luau with unfathomable hospitality

aloha said by everyone 
eye contact swiftly given
spirituality accessible to all, not just shaman

So many choices; why not see them all?
Scuba diving, swimming, fishing.

On the 'hazy horizon' the sun rises high
Arid breeze caresses 'dunes in desert' arena
The steps of 'life in strife' stop
As the 'gleam of dream' 'sordid sands' grip
Bruised by the thorns of cacti
'Bliss from abyss' rises once again
Defines the contours of hope sublime
I 'try to descry'...

Surfed on the isle of Ha-wai-i...

Parched life trailing toiled the mirage, needs to waiT
Pacing weary to the oasis etched at the edge of ennuI
Instilled by psychic vibe the journey ends in euphoriA
Nascent hopes...

Attending school was never an option when the empty drum echoes the song of yearning grains, trekking the lanes with bathroom slippers that awaits a welcoming party in the municipal waste truck while idanuwa na zubar da kwalla.

Bafflement grips me when some sit in their...
