Train

Train Locomotive rumbling - chugging train Diners, sleepers, small caboose – no disdain. Iron tracks to train the tracks of the train Sometimes runs on mobile tracks – a seatrain. Travels through the wayward wind and rain Through valleys, moraine – mountain steep terrain. Freight trains loaded with orchard fruit and grain Thunders through wild wilderness and plain. City stations, old depots to maintain, Whistle stops, lonely nights – train refrain.

Chugging along like a song. Nice penning.

You covered so many aspects of trains, Sam, I'm feeling so educated! Perhaps you could 'train' me how to write about trains! A nice, train-like, rhythmic flow to your monorhyme and lots of great words (I confess, I had to look up 'moraine'). Big congrats on your win - I enjoyed this ride... woo woo!

Only if you train me in train songs - refrains! After all spring training doesn't have to be over yet! Thank you for your congrats. I do love trains and have since I was quite little - many seasons ago! Blessings as you follow your track!

Sam, I love anything about trains, especially old steamers. I truly enjoyed the ride you so skillfully depicted in poetic form. Many thanks for your kind comment re hapless Cletus and his encounter with a bidet. Stay safe, my friend - Bob

Me too, Bob. I took a memorable train trip with my grandmother to Colorado one summer. That cemented my love of "everything" trains. Still laughing about poor Cletus. Thank you for your encouraging message. All Aboard!

Nostalgic imagery of trains. It took me back to my childhood years dear, Sam. Thank you for the memories! Take care!
