Practice Shuga-ken Haiku

My brother decided to try some as he calls it "Shuga-ken Haiku".  Meaning:  Hawaii used to grow sugar cane and historically is very much like another Japanese province.  Therefore, Shuga == Sugar in old Hawaii Japanese and cane == ken (ending for Japanese province).  His pen name is Satoou Kibi
