mark thirty-fifth anniversary
on kaua’i island ~ hawaii
visit hanalei farmers’ market
petite apple-faced vendor offers
juicy samples we cannot resist:
mango, papaya, pretty star fruit,
exotic longan (or dragon’s eyes)
yet most exquisite discovery:
taste of fresh white pineapple
~ as sweet as old lovers ~

Linking to dVerse quadrille prompt on “pine”… and praying for the people of west Maui recently devastated by wild fires.

I have never had the pleasure of tasting such delights… and I have never been to Hawaii

I understand why some call it paradise! But while we were there, there was also a missile threat from North Korea…no true paradise in this world, looking to the next 🙏

That’s so beautiful & special! ❤
Much love,
