Aloha Heavenly Hula Girl;
Proud Polynesian Princess.
You probably don’t remember me,
But it behooves me this to express:
We were on a September sojourn,
My mother and I from the mainland.
It was our first vacation in Hawaii
To see the sun, surf and sand.
We came.
We saw.
We were in awe!
We adore your heartland--your shore!
Even after seven continents,
Still the beauty of Earth was not full.
For God so loved the world, that He gave us the land of
H ula, A loha, W aves A nd I slands I ndescribable.
And from these words came its name,
In the first letter of each word it is heard.
Hail to the Promised Land of Polynesia,
Above all travel destinations preferred!
It was our last night on Oahu,
To Paradise Cove we went.
The eighth of September, 2009;
A date of memories and merriment.
You were standing adorned in your finery;
A Hawaiian Hula Girl extraordinaire.
I seized the night and into the eyes
Of Polynesian pride did I stare!
I asked your camera girl if she
Would immortalize this moment.
“Suuure!” she replied eagerly;
“Aloha,” you said to me in exotic accent.
You spoke...I was speechless,
But managed an awkward answer.
And thus we posed for that especial portrait:
A mere mortal with a Goddess and Hula Dancer.
You autographed my picture
And I offered a handshake of gratitude.
Then, we exchanged a heartfelt, “Aloha,”
And this mo’olelo pokole did conclude.
To the Paradise Cove family,
O’Brian, entertainers and staff:
I throw you a shaka salute,
On all satisfied customers’ behalf!
To Hawaii, little token of Heaven fallen from above,
Never will I forget your people, places and palm trees:
Thank you:
Mahalo for the memories!
And to a certain Hula Girl,
Somewhere out there...
Hang loose, little shaker,
Whatever you dare to dream or dream to dare!
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou to you and your ohana,
--Demetrius

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts of your very enjoyable trip to Hawaii. Loved the Hawaii acronym too.
So did you send this poem to her or present it to her?
