sweeter with age

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 ~
