Hawaiian Idols
(German sonnet)
(iambic hexameter)
Soft trade winds gentle fan the budding coffee rows,
The sapphire depths, the taste, and Hanapepe’s lights.
In waters soft as resting lovers’ spent delights,
The day goes down in subtle flares as hard night grows.
On Poipu’s sheltered reef, a fleeting glimpse excites,
Its muscled length extends then disappears again,
The rounded lips above the mouth, its light contain,
And deepest pleasure find, as our pursue invites.
How we devote our full employ, our end obtain.
We match the water’s rhythmic rise and slow withdraw,
How sweet its salty sheen’s rejoice, as Kāne saw.
As finally we persevere, our prize we gain,
We praise the island gods, awash in nature’s awe,
Humuhumunukunuku apua’a

Beautifully done, although I admit I am not sure about your meter. lol guessing it doesn't matter if it is traditional iambic pentameter.
