Funny how sight works
Seeing through gloom and doom
The price paid for anything we miss seeing

Very insightful

well i'll just be damned
i would not believe it's true
a senryu from you

Seeing as how it's New Year's week, this could be a paying customer riding in a cab sipping carbonated Champagne while passing all the celebration excitement on the city streets, all viewed through a Champagne glass and/or cab window.
But, that could just be my imagination fumbling to interpret your creative work … I hear your amused giggle! : )

Never a boring moment reading you, Jacob.

Yes, I do and am excited to get va k to writing!😍
I don't think this is an ode to the internal combustion engine. It's not only sipping the scenery, it's inhaling it.

Wow, that was a trip, this could be one you remember or one you never return from. Either way, the meter of this is what adds up for me. : )

Being carbonated may refer to carbon-based entities that traverse this existence which is far more suited than the carbonated beverages we call soda pop colas. But the effervescent rolling scene is very catching. Bubble and fizz on this new year! Cheers and a blessed new year to you J!

I love Haikus and this one was different than any I have read. I loved the originality. It provides an interesting image.
