Ride home (haiga)

haiga, tanka 1 Minute

Train runs on time

chasing clouds on the run

whistle blows.

clouds etched in the sky

bales of hay set out to dry

one dark cloud taunts

lightness dims

sun bows gracefully

almost home

darkness greets me solemnly

city lights wink high above.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

      5. Smart cookie! When I was back in the USA … it was the hottest summer in ages they told me … had to cancel the 4th of July for fear of fires … well I took a sweater with me where ever we went … the shops, and restaurants etc were just too cold!
