Another Whistle Stop

Another Whistle Stop Whistle stops wait for lonesome midnight trains Recalls starlit sentimental journey storms Shivers in express downpours, pelting rains, Whistle stops wait for lonesome midnight trains To sing a litany of train refrains, Rumbles through restless lullabies forlorn Whistle stops wait for lonesome midnight trains Recalls starlit sentimental journey storms To sing a litany of train refrains Whistle stops wait for lonesome midnight trains Shivers in express downpours, pelting rains Rumbles through restless lullabies forlorn Recalls starlit sentimental journey storms Heartbreak punches tickets for hope reborn. 6-22-21 Contest: Write Me a Trionet Form: Stanza 1 ABaAabAB; Stanza 2 aAabBb Sponsor: LM Hankins

Superb Sam - I love trains too :) The whistle of a steam train almost makes the engine feel alive. I could hear the sound of the whistle as I read your poem. Cheers - Gary

Thank you so much Lasaad. Can you see me blushing beneath your gracious words of compliment? I have always loved trains and the sound of their whistles at night - melancholy, pensive yet often like a lullaby. So glad you enjoyed this one. Blessings of eace and grace to you!
