Congrats on your success in my contest Cecil.Rgds Brian.My latest contest Indelible Impressions is now open

Nice use of sound imagery in this poem. Interesting slant on the contest. Best wishes. Keep on writing. Karen

I grew up near a railroad track..no gated crossing out in the country.. but I love this. BG

I can hear it. Reminds me of a part of a book I read actually. Excellent work with this great form. Love, Shar

Whoooo woooooo woooo! puff puff puff...chug chug chug chug chug... off it goes !! Loved this one!!

I live near railroad tracks and I don't think I could have captured this as well as you have here. I love that sound "clickety-clack" as they pass through "Upon iron tracks". Though sometimes thought to be a lonesome sound, I think of it as an adventure and wonder where will they go and what will they see? Well written. I am really growing fond of this form.

Thank you for supporting my contest Cecil.Rgds Brian
