Yunnan Haikus

Early rising
Sparkling skies;
Sublime moment


Dearest and I
Get ready;
Tour group assemble


Tour coach speeding
Jerky vibes;
Highway pulsations


Chinese lady guide
Delivers tour highlights;
Foreign inspiration


Off we go
Profound talk;
Morning invocation


Lijiang Expressions
A theme park act;
Chinese folk drama


Expectations
Captive tour audience;
Lijiang story


Vast mountain range
Snow-capped peaks;
Silence speaks loud


Supersonic boom
Speech echoes wonder;
Our ears feel blast


Overpowering sonic
Lady tour guide drenches;
Too high decibels


So many words
Stressed and jarring;
Blazing this mountain road


Joy lives here
Spring lingers;
Awesome mountain side


This old village
By this mountain;
Agrarian dialect


Cotton candy clouds
Breeze the peaks;
Touch of heaven


Ancient village
Historical tribal culture;
Displaced by modernity


Theme park sojourn
By mountain side;
Photo snapshot collection
