Journey Haikus

Haiku is a form of poetry with which I recently became familiar. A traditional Haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count.

Pat Bennett wrote the following 'Journey Haikus'
High tide brings the fruits

which sustain life’s journeyer

when the ebb tide runs

       ***

Only in valleys

do the mountaintop visions

yield up their riches

     *** 
They inspired me to try writing my own journey haiku.


One first class ticket

The journey of your life-time

Non transferable
