Kapoho

Wanted to end the night on a happier note, so here's a lighter poem =)

The honu was trying fo' sneak
into the tide pool
but I saw the shadow
from all the way by the car.
I grabbed the snorkels,
was going run fo' see um
but the rocks was wet
so I put on the tabbis -
I no can fo'get the last time
when I buss my face
and got one big strawberry
on top the knee.
I figga more better I walk
cuz ho, the lava stay hamajang!

The honu was still cruising
when I got to the water,
so I put on the snorkels.
I wanted fo' scream
cuz my hair wen' snag
on the fat adjustable rubba band,
dam thing wen' yank
the hair from my ponytail.
I tried fo' make like nothing
cuz I neva like scare the honu
just in case the bugga can hear good.

But my lolo friend wen' come from behind
and push me inside!
I guess the honu neva mind
cuz it swam right by me.
I dove to the bottom of the sandbar
and watched um fly right ova my head.

Looking up at its white opu
reminded me of the other afternoon,
when we was lying on top the grass
watching God move the clouds 

all ova the blue sky.
