Almost Idyllic: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku Lament

If only the roar/
of traffic wasn’t so loud/
it would be perfect.

Train Lullabye: Revolutionary ImproVerse Rhyming Haiku

Part of me wants to/
see the scenery but the/
train rocks me to sleep.

OR

Part of me wants to/
see passing scenery but/
I fall right to sleep.

Northbound 5:20 p.m. RR Pluses And Minuses: Revolutionary Blogging Sonnet

The wheels clack and moan./
The coaches bend and sway./
The rails sing along/
to the song of the railway.

You glimpse into hidden back yards;/
junk noone wants you to see./
Ripped apart trash and old cars./
Back-porch sitters, lonely.

Then scenery opens to your view/
that noone else appreciates./
Beaches, marshes, prairies too./
Mountain vistas, sunset lakes.

A new perspective is yours to gain,
to ponder and enjoy when you ride the train.
