Travel Haiku - Maui, Hawaii Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Maui Hana Highway
zig zagging to another world
black sand beaches

Hawaii's a land where you can see whales breaching in turquoise waters, a river of red lava flowing from a crater, or a hula dance on white sands as sunset streaks across the sky. But where to bring the whole family? Try Maui. Visit the 10,023-foot dormant volcano, Haleakala, as early as 3: 00 a.m. to see the sunrise, and then bike all the way back to sea level. Or hike though bamboo forests to the island's many pristine waterfalls, snorkel in protected waters to watch neon-colored fish and sea turtles, and drive the S-curves of the Hana Highway to hidden black-sand beaches.
