Travelling across
the Siberian wilderness
in spiritual bliss
Coldness I feel out
there but warmness exudes from
just her mere presence
Aleph, I proceed
Jubilance in feel for I
am pensive in mood

It's nice to have someone warm nearby, isn't it? Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAll good wishes for 2014 Hank ... you've caught the romance of the Trans Siberian Railroad in a nice trio of haiku. Brings good vibes to my mind ...

Love your reference and pictures to the Transibirian Railway... I would love to travel once. I love travel that way and do it every now and then up to Northern Sweden... takes about 20 hours ,,, and with your own compartment its quite a spiritual journey.. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYour 2nd is quite romantic.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

Really love that first haiku...surprising since most associate Siberia with desolation. To be blissful is to be oblivious to that around you. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful presentation and great mood created here with these haiku. Thanks for your wonderful comments. I have catching up to do.
