Striking poetry Lamart! Wonderful mix of aural, visual and even scents. Train journeys are a fabulous opportunity for haiku – unfortunately most people are too glued to their smartphones to appreciate where they are and what is around them. Thanks for reminding us to look up and smell the blossoms!

Great to have haiku about train systems/stations in various US States :-)
Good fresh take on trains and blossom.

Thanks Alan!
Currently, the U.S. capital is celebrating the Cherry Blossom Festival – so many people across different cultures come to enjoy the festivities.
Nice one liner!

Hi Lamart,
yes, I'm giving feedback on two groups where haiku will be submitted to the haiku section competition. :)

Lovely verse!
This really resonates since it brings back memories of riding the NYC transit!

Nice train poem…I'm a wannabe train nut:
