Island in Paradise

Relentless heat bears down
Another detour to nowhere.
Paradise radio spills static.
And the breaking news sings
worn out blues, once again.
Exhaust chokes the air
While people become exhausted
Another pothole sends
a truck and trailer veering.
Life in the fast lane
Roads beyond repair
Lives at a screeching halt
Brake lights red for miles
Tempers burn steady.
Horns blare at nobody…
…Anybody in particular
oil light begins to shine
no help anywhere
offering one last
commuter prayer.


Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa
