Beneath the Banyan Tree: Exotic, Vibrant Recipes from the Indonesian Archipelago | 
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Today‘s haiku is inspired by a large banyan tree that fell into the road in Hilo this weekend. (Not the one pictured) Luckily, no one was injured but it makes me sad to see one of these revered trees fall. They are not native to Hawaii but they have become a part of the landscape & culture.
Under banyan shade
Stories ride the island breeze
Time grows from their limbs
