cloud mote adrift in the blue sky garbling sandhill cranes
whistling down the tracks the ten-o'clock-on-time coyotes howl long

I love the thought of coyotes howling with the trains.
Thank you, Bjorn!
Thanks for the ;haiku snack. Very tasty. Like greens, I often don’t get enough of it.
Thank you, Tim!
I can see both haiku happening, before me, as I watch life unfold. Darn it, how I wish that I was there and not the concrete jungle that too much of Toronto has become.
Thank you, Therisa!
What Bjorn said–the second haiku is my fave. We have trains running through our town all night. When that whistle blows, it puts me on a dream train. The last coyote spotted here in the suburbs and Cascade foothills, was killed by a bull mastaff.
Thank you, Glenn!
Coyotes are cool cunning, solitary, secretive and urban. You may still have them in Cascade, check this out:

I agree the second haiku is absolutely phenomenal! ❤️
Thank you, Sanaa!
Thanks all for your comments. – Pat
I too love the second one most specially with the sound of trains and coyote howling long.
Thank you, Grace!
The haikus are excellent, especially the 2nd. I love the depth of you photo Frank. The lights way off are a touch of msgic…
Thank you, Rob! It is those lights that made the photo interesting for me as well.
I love the timed howls of the coyotes to the trains.
Thank you, Mary!
love the images in these…particularly the second one but they both work…JIM

I particularly like the imagery of the train and the couple’s howl.
Thank you, Jenna!
