Traveling Boy’s Poems to Go Invites all poets to share their talent to the world. As long as websites in the internet are accessible, these poems will be the legacy of your creativity. Years … centuries from now, some alien ship will find this website and will wonder what mankind was all about. Your poems will help them to understand the thought processes of man.
by Guest Writer Tanoa Taiku
Written in 2014 as he began his tour for the Peace Corps In Guyana at age of 74
El tiempo es todo…
Timing is everything
When it’s missing
Nothing connects
As you want it to
When it’s missing
Shedding tears
Have no effect
When it’s missing
The bells cannot toll
Though prayers abound
El tiempo es todo…
Timing is everything
When it’s there
Laughter cries out
As joy cascades
When it’s there
Gears mesh smoothly
Motors purr in synchronicity
When it’s there
Words are unnecessary
Because timing says it all
El tiempo es todo…
Timing is everything

Tanoa Taiku’s TIMING was well thought out and deeply personal.
