Living here in Waikiki means lots of sun in February
"I have never seen snow
and do not know what winter means. "
Duke Kahanamoku
But when there is a major winter storm,
my thoughts return to my east coast childhood.
"Genius is an African who dreams up snow."
Nabokov
Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood. "
Andy Goldsworthy

The day after big snow
in a great city
is a festival!
Sunny skies
like salvation show
a blinding white,
a crisp blue vast,
of
sky
with celebratory clouds.
Yesterday
there was no horizon
just a suspension of silver confetti flakes.
Today the sky's reopened.
Rivulets of melted snow,
and the squeals of children
in the
awe-hushed town,
promise Spring.
ALOHA, Snow Bunnies! cloudia
