It does! I missed reading last month’s prompt but must have been on the same wavelength since I created this Haiga a month ago. I need to get back to poets online!! 😊

A train whistle at night can sound lonely, but I missed them when we moved to the country. Lovely piece, Mary. 🙂 — Suzanne

It just occurred to me that you might be new to senryu and its link with haiku. Michael Rehling, the editor of Failed Haiku: A Journal of English Senryu is using the term tongue in cheek. Senryu are an important part of authentic haiku. Senryu introduces a human element that can result in something humorous or very sad. Like haiku, it has its “Aha!” Moment if it is good. Read the journal and you will understand and fall in love with Senryu. Cheers!

Love this, Mary. Reminded me of my childhood when I heard a train whistle each night right after lights out. The last sound of the day.
