Kona Coast

amber afternoon
in the shade
wind moving gently
through the trees
a bamboo wind song

big bamboo
windchimes
mellow and deep tones
play parts of familiar a mele
setting my heart to sing

sun strobes
through the trees
birds sing backup
as the wild scent of ginger
fills me up
evening cocktail
night blooming jasmine
slack key sounds
a golden blend
of the Kona Coast
 

 

 


Free Verse

Mahina

Goddess of the moon
illuminates
a secret path
from the mountain
to the shoreline
Kane has thrown pebbles
of white coral
to find his way back
from the land of Po
before the misty veil
covers Mahina's face
and the pathway is lost
to any who dare follow
his footprints

In the moon's shadow
a milky way
of white coral pebbles

 

 


Haiku

silently snowing
stillness/stopping
the world
