Early Morning In Guam Poem

By Manonton Dalan

it was hot morning walk to any place
on this part of the world there’s no taxi
there is a bus but it will pass every hour
it easier to walk, you’ll make it there less
pave road is line with fruiting coconuts
scary to get too close, fruits known to fall

low lying mango branches full with fruits
it’s so many on the island nobody cares
first day i love to eat them then lost taste
twenty minutes walk to the beach, brisk
that’s start of my day, free food and drinks
swim, fish, play volleyball, listen to stories
