I promise this is the last Hawaii post!
On our way to a bike tour that started in the town of Haiku we amused ourselves making up the poems, which have a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.
Haiku
 |
| The Sun |
Bluewater five shine through the trees in the morning sun
 |
| A biker on the way to Haiku darting in and out of traffic |
Morning rider darts
Moving quickly through traffic
In shining sunlight
 |
| The bus driver said, "no lawyers" |
Can you hear me now
Name where your from mission
No lawyers allowed
 |
| The trees smelled good. |
Eucalyptus Grove
Bikes whizzing through in this day in the shade
Stop and smell the trees
Lavender fields forever
Yellow Yarrow at the side
Warm fragrance in sun
 |
| Cook planted these pines wherever he landed so if he came back he'd have replacement masts for his ships. |
Captain cook pine trees
Standing on a hill wAiting
Ships mast to refit
Admiral Nimitz house
Roof like a proud in the field
General at ease
Haleakala
Stands high above the blue sea
Gazing at the stars
Linua in the clouds
Across the channel from Maui
Sunrise lights Maui
On the drive to the airport
Passing kaanapoli
Windmills are still
High clouds hide
Passing Lahaina
