Twilight Train



I'm a poet and didn't know it! (I know, I am so clever.)

Some Haiku-ish junk I wrote on an overnight train to Chaing Mai from Bangkok. Yes, I am a nerd, but reciting poetry on the train with Elle and Emily was an A+ experience- so I had to type it up....

Twisted steal
Metal grinding
Reflection in the window paralyzing.

Skinny chickens
Make great Tum Kha Gai
Peaking out with Buddha eyes.

Tangerine robes
Monks whiz by
Steam engine belts a sigh.

Mountain temples
Speck and glitter
Twine around rice paddy litter.

**snap snap snap**
