Sunrise seen from a bus ride –
Through forested land –
Is still beautiful

A weekly bus ride
Through Halifax and Dartmouth
These days is like a –
Tourist ride experience –
With all the new construction

Tanka T131
Stood in pouring rain –
Rather than breathe cigarette
Smoke in bus shelter –
Cause a little cold water
Ain’t gonna hurt nobody

Tanka T130
The sole passenger –
On a public transit bus –
From boarding to home –
I got chaffeured around town
On a single bus ticket

Running and shopping –
Together at the same time –
Saves time and money –
While getting things I need done –
Made for a great runner’s high

Got short-changed on a
Bus transfer tonight by a
Newbie bus driver –
He misquoted rules but I
Had none on me to argue

Seems viral is –
My adjective of the day –
My body’s got one –
My work computer, too –
And a video I’m in is
Going so on Facebook
