Haiku smell of spice on the wind.... another shore

 

Waimea Cherry Blossom Festival     heavy rain cofee blossoms for first round     coffee fields covered in snowy white blossoms     smell of coffee blossoms and hot ginger tea warming my hands     snow on mauna kea cherry blossoms cover the villiage below     coffee blooms at cherry blossom time bright red fruit     a hush falling over the villiage drifts of cherry blossoms     windy morning the sweeter the blossoms     Waimea cherry blossoms celebrated in, an ethnic fusion     paniola guitars slack key/taiko drums a Hoo lau Lea     beauty of slack key dances with ethnic fusion cherry blossom festival     ho o lau lea festival of food and cowboy music

 

Kyoka to think at one time women couldn't vote.. and now a woman is the speaker of the house so sit down dubya     the young girl talking back, listens ... with her mouth instead of ears     wandering again my son, looking for the blue flash a synapses or short circuit?     electric excitement synapse in cyberspace finding some one connection unlost at last   dropped cage at the airport canaries mingle with rice birds yellow squabblers     old flirtations... water under the bridge and now the rivers dried up   broken down carousel driftwood horses forever prancing in overgrown grass they cant eat     never hold in a fart it travels up your spine contaminates your brain and gives you stink ideas     speeding ticket in my crown vic the judge didn't laugh when I told him it was an old police car and liked to go fast     tweakers need fluorescent lights to see the synapse of their mind as it misfires     someone tell the cowboy global warming is caused by flatulent cows and Texas barbecues     bi-polar take...drugs to get into it others take their drugs to get out of it
