labor day - haiku
stairs guard takes our photograph;
in fog, a smile's lost
(10-10)
chirping stilt protests
tenuous relationship
on pearl harbor beach
(1-13)
pounding 'f th'taro root,
while lava 'n' th'condos advance -
its echo fills th'valley
(1-15)
rain pounds windward side,
haiku valley mission postponed -
saints day step van tea
(1-14)
urge to pray - during
volcano park ranger's tale,
r'members it's souls' day
(11-14)
twelve hundred degree lava,
best to step aside
(11-14)
kailua tourist -
tells how aunt picked fights over
that turkey carcass
(11-13)
frigid small town vows
behind, waikiki ahead -
surf breaks and crashes
(2-10)
they met 'n oahu,
came over to th'big island -
winter crowds depressed'm
(3-10)
landing, we share dreams -
hers, more champagne, waikiki,
mine, the haiku steps
12-11
pearl harbor tourist -
new year brings recognition
thirty years' nightmares
(1-13)
haiku valley fog
envelops a steep ladder -
balanced on new year
(10-10)
ocean's pearl sparkles
from mainland march, sun has strayed
temptress oahu!
(10-05)
busy restaurant
loses bride's lu'au - groom's eyes
on duke in finals
(3-10)
th’hibiscus blooms red –
th’park lass claims they were
planted
(6-15)
a nisei’s loyalty,
she says, spraying th’hibiscus,
‘s always in question
(6-15)
lass, mem’ries of hachimachi –
most loyal to th’flow’rs
(6-15)
hibiscus gard'ner -
most nisei loyal, grandma
made hachimachi
(1-15)
easter rains - hilo
laundromat's dull dryer lint,
needle on old jeans
(4-10)
big island sunset -
cobalt sea t'blanket 'f june stars,
tide that pulls both ways
(1-15)
