1
new year’s day
dipping the pen into the well –
a new chapter
****
2
winter reverie –
the urge to run away
with the train whistle
****
3
the hustle and bustle
searching all the strange faces –
Grand Central platform

Like Bjorn, I was tempted to do this month of prompts as haibun. I think the idea of a train trip, based on a novel, lends itself to a bit of prose with the haiku. Alas I have an extremely busy month and may be among the missing at times. These prompts are a bit more challenging for me and I may not have the time right now to prepare a post every day. I will participate whenever I can. One more thing. Today’s prompt took me to Grand Central Station in New York City! So I may not be on the same train as the rest of you! I have to go where the prompt takes me! Enjoy your ride!!
