China Travelogue Haikus

Dawn comes
On the silk route;
Sun sparkles


Tour trip explores
Vistas of China;
Old and new transits


So much to see:
Lovely landscapes;
Crowded cities morphing


Words in my journal,
Thoughts on my journey;
Miracles and mysteries


Mötley tourist crowd
Eagerly guzzling down
All things China in spring rain


We take our time,
Explore the edges;
Collect instant memories


My darling translates
Classical Chinese tongue:
Basic English field trip!


Beauty in nuances
Cryptic language profound:
Where the Middle Kingdom reigns


Memories on record,
Thought distiller in word motifs;
Celebrate and anchor


Eventful sojourn,
Spring sensations --
Mystic revelations


Just the other day,
My darling said to me:
Take another China trip?

Dear Skat: Yes, it was certainly a fun trip, and our first to China. Thank you for taking the time to check this poem that I posted in my early days on PoetrySoup. Leon
