Best View In The House: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

It’s been decades since/
I thrilled looking out the front/
window of a train.

waving frantically at the/

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.
