Shangri-La

Parallel tramlines
cross on the skirt of an alp
Snow weeps in sunlight

Nice. I really like “Snow weeps in sunlight.”

I hear the song "On the road to Shangri-La";

and, too, Ezra Pound's "In a station of the metro."

Metaphysical, the image that this micro poem is.

And that last line could solo as haiku:

snow
weeps
in sunlight

snow
weeps
in sunshine

snow
weeps
in moonlight

weeping
In sunlight -
late snow

Michael, I LOVE your haiku you've found in this:

weeping
In sunlight -
late snow
