Notes About The Poem

Train Track To Abstract

Asp! I can see I am not going to be on time? That's a fact! I am late, and must wait, while a gate holds me back from the tracks! What a pain is the train dashing by!.. Rolling on at a pace of a snail in a race I am bracing to stifle a yawn All that freight, makes a pass while my eyes try to grasp graffiti that is now flashing by.. On the side of each car is a scar that was splashed by a guy with a message to send.. It departs 'round the bend So the gallery ends.. Farewell to the art from a friend... I am late... but the wait was a blast!

yes, as andrea says, it has a certain lyrical quality, as so many of your pieces do; some nice subtle rhyme within it - congrats on a well deserved win! :)
