Grating cheese
Is the relationship
Between mother and daughter

Oh dear!...

America had a King
and we all know his name
He wasn't king in England
and he wasn't king in Spain
He ruled with in our borders
And with majesty he did reign
King Kamehameha
He was known by his name...

Off 
The coast
Of Maui 
The northern whales
Migrate to the shores
To sun and raise
Their newborns

It's Thanksgiving, so stop hugging your poodle
And come here to Maui for Aunt Ida's guava strudel
Flower wreaths she has made
So of course, you'll get leid
Then go home to write your tropical footle

Diving off Maui, waters are so totally crystal clear
The coral is gorgeous, the colors can bring you to tears
Nature's magic exposed
Paradise disclosed
If you're lucky enough to visit, your cares will disappear...

Nonchalant Rouge  
By Maui Sanders

Absence of affection
Is not a sore ditch
Film reels 
And family memories
Even though I may not 
Have one
In my mind, I am a warrior
Who is learning
How to be of an object
To people on a pursuit to
Win the trophy...

waking up and 
baking up 
before 
we hit the sun
 
in a hurry 
don't you worry
just come along
and have some fun

stop all that lookin'
at what we're cookin'
like we're crooked dudes
with guns

MANnnnn!!!
themz' brownies 
not Maui WoW-Wee
chill out
our THC days iz' done....

Rebecca
Caring, loving, faithful, devoted
Sister of Bev and Brian
Lover of John, animals and science fiction
Who feels fortunate, blessed and loved
Who fears snakes, being a burden to her loved ones and cancer
Who would like to see the Grand Canyon, Ireland and Maui 	
Resident of Louisville, Kentucky

Both tourists and islanders shop at this store.
It sells souvenirs, cold drinks, and much more.
Find them on many streets in Honolulu.
Leave the city, and they're all over Oahu.
Explore these stores on the Big Island too.
Go to their shops on Maui and Kauai.
They even have places on Molokai.
Their selections and bargains are worth a look-see.
These Hawaiian convenience stores are called ABC.

To visut Maui, would inject cash into local pockets
I hear many hotels, and other venues are untouched
By the fires? Just in the opposite side.' If i were able
I would go,knowing my contribution would go more
Likely where its needed.'? I an rushing off but thought
To post this in good will, for the people there, if I can
Do something? I cant thinj to rhyme this.' I know readers
Will understand, just a gesture from another human.'...

Sitting on the breakwater,
long before first light,
I was met by gifts
and messengers.
First, a small bird
to warn me to be
    ready.
And then, knowing 
before it happened,
that a shooting star
would appear,
right where I looked,
followed by the ecstasy
between land and water
the sky and I, and 
from somewhere,
  a mantra,
"Don't be greedy,
don't be greedy."
All will come about
   in due time.
Be happy with small gifts
   from the universe...
