May Day
is Lei Day
a chance
to say
Aloha
in a special way.
Make a lei
a chain of flowers
to drape
on this day
around
the neck
of someone
you know.
Bring the spirit
of love
and Aloha
to those
who need a lift.
Bring the smell
of Hawaiian islands
to those
who need a break
from their stress.
Aloha,
Happy Lei Day.
Yes, I know this is coming to you on May 2 and Lei Day is May 1, but as my Island friends tell me, it is never a bad day to receive the gift of a lei. So maybe I'm early for next year. Your challenge for today is to write a poem from the viewpoint of your favorite flower. What is its life like? How does it feel about the other flowers, the birds, cats or dogs? Have fun. I think I'm going to try drawing a lei.
I miss the progressive poem. ily
