Travel Haiku - Aruba, Angel Isle Of The Caribbean Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Aruba
small enough to charm
like her waist

Aruba Song
just 19 miles at arm's length
and six at the waist
we embrace dreams without
the burden of responsibilities
feel them light as powdery sand
the morn wind that tiptoes over the waves

our feet carry us feverishly into
a waltz of caribbean blues,
tight, crisp and effortless
into the crescendos of waves
and - our breath

This slender island measures just 19 miles long and six miles wide, but its wide, white-sand beaches (some of the best in the world) , reliably near-perfect climate, and warm, turquoise waters have turned it into a dream destination for sun seekers. Visine-clear waters and abundant coral reefs mean great scuba diving and snorkeling. On land, escape crowds by saddling up on a horse or hopping onto an ATV and heading into the rugged, cactus-strewn interior, which includes Arikok National Wildlife Park.
