A thundering steel bull...leaves behind a copper petal.
Link with 1076: Train.
[When I was a kid we enjoyed watching trains rumble by. At one point we got the idea of putting a penny on the track. We'd fetch the squashed results later when the train had passed by.]
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'.
