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.

What a perfect simile to conclude your poem, Lynn! You brought my parents to mind–still holding hands while watching TV, when they were in their 80s!

Sometimes I see starfruit in our local grocer…probably not quite as fresh ☺️
