HAIKU TRAIN-: Building the Longest train 🚆on Substack

A haiku is a quiet moment made visible, just a few lines that hold a season, a feeling, a world.

Today, we begin something simple and ambitious:

THE HAIKU TRAIN ON SUBSTACK

Here’s how it works:

I’ll start with a haiku.

The last line becomes your first line.

You write the next haiku and someone else continues from you.

A chain of moments.

A shared rhythm.

One long, unfolding poem.

The goal?

To build the longest haiku train🚆on Substack together in 6 days.

Easy Weezy

morning light spills soft

across windows half-open

the day waits outside

Fiona Bridges

The day waits outside

I am snuggled in the bed

It can keep waiting.

Tangled Words

It can keep waiting.

Only midnight knows my name.

Moon marks escape route.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve written haiku for years or this is your first.
