Haibun: A second attempt

We have been challenged once again to write a haibun. I do not think I got it right in my previous attempt. Hopefully, this time I will be closer to being on the mark...

I'll begin with two verses of what I deem to be prose poetry (please correct me if I'm wrong) and end with a haiku.


Grassy knolls and barley fields
roll by unnoticed 
by un-wandering eyes
that only see what is inside

When will we open our eyes 
to the beauty 
of what passes us by
on journeys 
to far off places?

Though trains do not stop
for us to gaze upon small
wonders, we can look
