distant train
breaks the silence and
my concentration-
thoughts now heading north
on a one-way track...

  2. I love trains so much and their distant mournful sound, and you brought it all back with your story, I love this very much Kristin :)

  3. ... and the places, where they used to be, are to be found in your notebook. And your blog. Very nice.

    Best wishes

  5. Thanks to everyone...this one literally happened in about two seconds. I sat down and at my desk having no idea what I wanted to write about and I suddenly heard the midnight train outside. This just popped into my head at that moment. Those are always my favorite ones...the ones that happen quickly after a sudden, unexpected moment of inspiration. :)

  6. You've really captured the melancholy of hearing the sound of a train in the distance. Beautiful tanka Kristin.
