Jumbles and Images: June 2007
http://kananifong.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Poetry by Kanani Fong. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. A Son In The Soft Grass of Spring. The Soft Grass of Spring. Where are you going? Is there wisdom in the breeze,. Music in the dry summer air. As you longboard the hills,. Careening down, hips shifting left and right? When you smile and hug,. My world falls into order. Neither words nor time. Matters at this point. But I worry if my love. Will get lost in your desire for a car,. Your first girlfriend,. Or when you move away? For I'm only your mother. Kanani ...

Jumbles and Images: Release
http://kananifong.blogspot.com/2007/01/fangs-of-power.html
Poetry by Kanani Fong. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. The need, to cede. The power to those guarding. A lifeless rock from a surging sea. The jump was easy, the ride less so. I was a speck. In an uncertain sea. No fight, just ragged fear. On a distant shore. On foggy mornings,. Feeding the koi, feeling the beat of wild. Parrots lifting their wings,. The outline of the rock appears. Hushthink of those still living. On their lifeless rock. A Single Soul Left On Shore. And so it appeared, a poem. A wonderful sm...

Jumbles and Images: The Lily Trail
http://kananifong.blogspot.com/2007/01/lily-trail.html
Poetry by Kanani Fong. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Feathered, red leaves patter. Hitting hard the wind tossed cliffs. Ravens caw and scatter,. Flying above the lily-trail to a skiff we sailed. Curling ‘round a penny moon. Swift winds sang the scent of lilies,. In one melodious and howling riff,. Cutting through blue waves hewn. Under skies of pearls and azure. We wove our hands and lost the measure. Of the breadth between the stars,. Locks flying, sails pushed taut. Swept along with swooning pleasure.
