Hawaii

by Britany Canham

 

It took two planes to get there.

We went to Maui and Honolulu.

We saw trees --they looked like

they were drawn in chalk.

We saw the U.S. Arizona.

We played in the ocean.

The saltwater didn't taste good.

We watched hump-backed whales

and dolphins.

The sand felt so good on my feet.

The sights, the feels, the new tastes--

thing I never knew.

Saying over and over the name of the Hawaii

State Fish--Hamihumi Nukunukepuaa.

My poor sister, throwing up most of the trip.

But the nice cool winds made her feel better.
