10. Reggae Haiku

Toy pianos steel drums

Plucks and strums on the downbeats

Peace, love and good vibes.

This is a haiku that I wrote about my reggae, my favorite genre of music. Growing up in Hawaii, everybody listened to reggae music. We’d listen to it in the car, at parties, at the beach and everywhere else. Now that I’m in Texas, there aren’t nearly as many reggae fans, but I still listen to it as it reminds me of where I came from and who I am.
