#SenHai #Saturday #44 #poetry
Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus are three lines presented in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions. Then, provide a link in the comments below or ping back to this post on your blog.
In the words of the photographer – “A train bridge in the fog on a foggy day. Bridge to the Unknown. In Alaska, an old, broken bridge looms through the fog, with its decaying wooden planks stretching into the mist, evoking a sense of forgotten history.” This image is of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, Skagway, AK, USA.

Senryu #44
wooden sleepers climb
to an unknowing station
ghost train slips on by
Haiku #44
broken bridge tells us
of Alaska's Railroad past
- in misty limbo
