That's a real good description of the subway. Nice job.

Fantastic image, Nalini...yours?

I've only ever written Japanese Haiku, and like it's rhythm and consistency more than "English Haiku," which is an adaptation of the original and I think loses something...but the elments of opposed elements exists, and that's the cool thing about Haiku

The methaphorical effect in this Haiku is just awesome....!
