. Because they had asked the conductor, Wilma pressed the emergency break immediately, and without any hesitation. (What does asking the conductor have to do with Wilma pressing the emergency break???? It doesn't make sense.)

You relate an interesting incident. However, I was misled by the word "girls." The two were mature women, as Wilma was married. Clear presentation of what happened on the train. This is an incident that Wilma and her friend could laugh about later. It probably didn't seem very funny at the time, though. It's easy to see how misstake could have happened. judi

Hello, Robina, :)

How are you doing? Hope you are great. It is going to snow here later on, again.

Good form, girl. I commend you on your writing. A haibun is different from a haiku, for sure. I looked it up. You did well, from what I could see. I didn't find any typos in your writing.

Love,
Nome

You told the story of a harrowing experience and followed with a haiku that is lighter and describes the type of person Wilma is. I did not realize that Basho wrote travelogues. And I liked being transported to Rothenburg with the picture you selected. Cheers- Joan

I'm not really familiar with the haibun structure. Does the haiku have to follow the typical 17 syllable total? It's a funny story especially when the conductor asked if they wanted to jump in the water.

This speaks Wilma's nature of making people laugh at times, she and her friend had taken the train wrongly back from Christmas market, she pressed the emergency break and lost time; well written, well done. B A CHANGE INSPIRER-WRITER --DR ALCREATOR

I love the carefree read of which ever way the wind blow that day. Slice of life is my favorite genre... the girls were so carefree and alive... I need what they are drinking.

I have never tried writing a Haibun. Thank you for the informative insights you shared in your author's notes. I learned a lot form your poem and the your notes. Thanks for sharing, all the best.

A great Haibun! You wrote a good story and verse to accompany it. I also appreciate your author's notes where you explained a Haibun. Very helpful and informative. I got a lot out of it. Thanks.
