Mauna Kea (White Mountain) is 13,760 ft, on the 'Big Island' of Hawaii where 202,000 islanders reside. On the windward/eastern side, is the county seat and its largest town of Hilo (to bond)--pronounced, HE-low, home to 43,000. It is my birthplace and where I now call home--once again--after a 40-year absence.

Aloha!

Rural life on the island of Hawaii, I held an interest in poetry since my shortened year in high school--having graduated at a young age. 'The Collection Plate', was my first published work in 1977 by a major national magazine. That opened the door for others to appear in several published anthologies throughout my early career.

My family grew up on the mainland. Kenny, Ricky, the twins Liz and Franky (who had passed 01/14/2022 at 35 years old), Princess, Rose, and Kimo, twelve grandkids, and three great-grandsons. I met my significant other of 25 years, Elyse, of Spanish and Swedish descent from Seville, Spain, on my 17th birthday. We both attended the University, being four years my senior. Sadly, she died shortly after Kimo was born.

I retired after 48 years and successfully sold online for a few years while passively engaging a writer's aspirations.

Contest UPDATE: I've read the 7 entries that has been placed and decided that those  who'll fall into the category of fourth to tenth place, I've decided to extend each of those categories an additional @$10. In the course of the unperceived, present positions may alter if I am in receipt of the better. Having that said, in the advent of such coursing, applies to both newly submitted entries, as well as, those that been submitted and marked as "Poem has been read," should changes apply and the body of the poem hence revised--NOTIFY your changes by adding it to your titled poem, as either one these choices or that of your own: Revised/New/Update--Nothing on the body of your poem (other than your alterations) or post relevent changes above it in the Notification Field. The area that I refer to as Nonsense. I post pertinent points that's relevent to me, and meaningless to all--you'll note the needed from my say so, my silence to the rest. Sometimes I post nonsensicals as poems and smile as their numbers rise, but the comments by those whose wisdom is unquestionable, or those who's loosely comfortable with their inherent nature will find the truth of it and apply justice.
