Gingers Poem

White Ginger is like scented wings of moths Shell Ginger is a mermaid's dainty chain Torch Ginger is a staff of petal flame Burning, defiant of the quenching rain The Yellow Ginger yields a sweet perfume To catch and hold the heart in woven leis Red ginger is the warm blood of Hawaii Spilling its laughter through the tropic days.
