HAIKU
A train's long echo whistles calling through the night who else is awake
This is a short little poem based on sound. Can you try writing your own sound poem? What does the hum from your computer remind you of?
See Joan, hearing a train always makes me feel I should be up and moving too. I wonder about all the people on the train. And I remember, when I was 5 being bundled up in my mom's old Plymouth at one o'clock in the morning counting train cars going past as we waited for the circus train to arrive. Thank you for all your encouragement and support.
Dear Joy,
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed by you. I am so proud of you and all the poems you share with us. Thank you
I love trains. I've always lived relatively close to a train track. Hearing the sound of a train is healing to me.
Love you.
Joan

ReplyDeleteCoyotes bark-howl,
My frail bones quiver-chatter.
Can they sense my fear?
WOW! Linda, this is excellent. I loved reading your haiku. We should do more of these.

DeleteI like this one especially. There is no sound I like more than a train whistle. Thanks for sharing this.
