“Painted sentinel mist obscures,
tangerine sky, joyful memory…
1989 – Haiku painted message board building just past
Ho’okipa Beach Park. This little building perched out in the
grassy bluff has been a source of laughter and commentary
for many decades. I have never seen anyone painting it.
One day it’s Cinco de Mayo, next a celebration of a wedding,
remembrance of a loved one, or just something funny.
For a long time it was the original emoticon, the smiley face.
And it always worked. Made me smile, at least as I drove by.”
