Anahulu Poepoe 4/27 – 5/5/2026

Aloha mai kākou, 

Aloha Lā Mei! Keu a ka nani nā pua e mohalu mai ana i kēia pō ʻo Māhealani me ka heleleʻi ʻana a ka ua. I kēia anahulu kākou e heluhelu aʻe ana i kēia ʻōlelo noʻeau no Kona, Kauaʻi. Like nō paha nā kukui-lau-nui-o-Kona ma Kona, Kauaʻi a me Kona, Oʻahu. 

Kukui-lau-nui-o-Kona.
Thickly leafed kukui of Kona.
A thick cloud that shuts out the light of the sun, like a heavily leafed kukui tree. This expression was used in the Kona district of Kauaʻi. —ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #1905 

English Description: 

Happy Mei Day! Nothing beats the beauty of the flowers blooming during the Māhealani moon with the arrival of the rains. During this anahulu, let’s read this ʻōlelo noʻeau from Kona, Kauaʻi. Perhaps the kukui-lau-nui-o-Kona are similar at both Kona, Kauaʻi and Kona, Oʻahu.
