Written: August 29, 2023 Voice Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper ______________________________________________________________ The train whistles its song, ready to depart, Embarking on a trip, with hope in every heart, Passengers gather at the bustling station, Anticipation rises, a pulsating sensation. Beautiful ladies with elegance and grace, Children with excitement on their faces, Flowers in bloom, brilliant and bold hues, Gifting a mother or lover grants eternal dews. Sitting and standing, a crowd in motion, Each with a purpose, a unique devotion, Some engaged in the paper or conversing,  Others don't want the sights to be closing. The sights are growing outside the window. A swift panorama, ripe with tales innuendo. Mountains and valleys, rivers and streams, Nature's beauty, is like a painter's dreams. The train chugs along, its rhythmic beat, Carrying dreams, hopes, and memories sweet, The station fades away, a blur in the distance, Leaving behind chaos, noise, and coexistence.

You turned that aged scene into a panoramic view by observing what was within and without the traveling locomotive. A brilliantly created rhyme full of uplifting truths accompanied by clever speculation. Well done my friend BOL
