| Twin hibiscus smile Queen Kapiolani Park Sunshine lights their face |
The Hawaiian alphabet consists of only 12 letters: a,e,h,i,k,l,m,n,o,p,u, and w; so lots of words in the Hawaiian language begin with the letter "h". Because this is Friday, and automatically #AlohaFriday, I wanted to choose a Hawaiian word but the sheer volume made this difficult.
My understanding is that when Bill Gates needs a difficult task completed quickly, he hires a lazy person because a lazy person will figure out how to do the task quickly. (That kind of thinking is why he has the big bucks!)
Being a lazy person myself at times, I decided the quick way to complete my post for "H" day was to write a haiku, 17 words total.
Although I took the photograph many years ago, these twin hibiscus blossoms make me smile every time. #AlohaFriday everyone!

So pretty! Thank you for visiting my blog, Gail!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha, and thanks for the return visit. Almost through the first full week. Hope we're still smiling when we reach "Z".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo (I love hibiscus too), beautiful haïku, and it's good to be lazy on saturday ;))

Not sure I confine the practice to a certain day (being lazy)! Thanks for visiting today.
DeleteWhenever I read Hawaiian folktales, I always think their language is beautiful. I saw Duolingo has it, maybe that will be my next lockdown project :D

I agree. And I see you are a typical AtoZer . . . always planning that next project.
DeleteGood one. Haikus are fun to write.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jamie. Sometimes I get carried away on Twitter when I see a beautiful picture and RT with a haiku.
ReplyDeleteI don't imagine that many people reading this speak Hawaiian, but I'd bet most of us know the word Aloha! There's nothing like a happy hibiscus or two!
ReplyDeleteYes, Keith, Aloha is universal!
