WAIKIKI: DECEMBER, by BIM MELGAARD First Line: One surfboard on the beach Last Line: From the forgotten surfboard. Subject(s): Waikiki, Hawaii | ||||||||
One surfboard on the beach; The last swimmer gone. Lights in the trees Where rests the lion mountain. Rain in the sea, Rain on the padded sand; Beat of a north-west rain Breaking the waves' smooth contour, Dripping from the kiawe Into the black canoes; Finding the hole of the sand crab, Blurring the prints of people; Gleaming, running, sliding From the forgotten surfboard. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAIKIKI: EVENING by BIM MELGAARD DEAD VOLCANO by HELEN LOUISE STAPLEFORD ORDER THE DESTRUCTION by BIM MELGAARD RETURN TO FORGOTTEN VALLEY by BIM MELGAARD WAIKIKI: EVENING by BIM MELGAARD WIND AT KAHUKA by BIM MELGAARD MILK FOR THE CAT by HAROLD MONRO DRINKING SONG, FR.
