Drifting off

About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Drifting off
to sleep...train sounds
in the distance.
Link with 1075: Night sounds.
[I believe it is commonly felt that it is comforting to hear the sound of a train in the night. Around here at about midnight we can often hear locomotives shunting cars around the yard which is amazing as the yard is on the other side of the city. What is more amazing are people who live right next to train tracks. Some folks we know in this situation said that after living there for years that they got used to it. They added that one night when the train did not go past at its usual time the silence actually woke them up!]
"everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance" - if masago and paul simon think so then it must be true :)
nice one
thank you
love that sound

Went to sleep to that sound all my childhood life. Good memories.
interesting how our minds get used to certain noises and actually miss them when they are gone.
nice one!
Floots: :-) Thanks. P.S. From watching "Monarch of the Glen" I know at least one train runs into the Highlands.
John: Thanks.
Pat: Cool...amazing the memories many of us can share even though we live in diverse places.
Polona: Right, sort of like missing reading everyone's posts when on vacation?
I live a hundred metres from the railway, and, yes, you get used to it!:) I dare say I would miss trains had they stopped coming!:)
