aloha, my name is Leleʻiohoku.
I’m an ʻōiwi poet and Hawaiʻi local from Kāneʻohe, Oʻahu.
my hope is to uplift ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) and others through my poetry.
as a reflection of my cultural heritage, my poetry is an inspired mixture of Hawaiian and Japanese styles.
koʻolau (noun): windward side of Hawaiian islands.
Koʻolau Haiku is a collection of poetry in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian) and English — inspired by the style of Japanese haiku (俳句) and traditional Hawaiian proverbs (ʻōlelo noʻeau).
hoʻomaluhia (verb): to give peace or protection
