Wendy Rycroft Poet Free verse

Winter Magic Ghost Train

Excited faces looking out,
Views through mountain pass,
Laughter and joy,
Winter trips, 
Snow plow pushes through,
Long journey ahead,
Orient express train speeds,
Onward through blizzards,
Fast and furious, 
Unstoppable!
People chatting,	
Without a care,
Unaware!
Phantom ride to scare,
Strange things occur,
Ghost waiter’s serve,
But were things as seen,
With excellent cuisine,
Finest champagne,
Cocktails and drinks,
Selections to tempt,
Indulgences,
Delicious to the eye,
Caviar!
Hypnotized,
All a lie!
Disguise,
Unbelievable in dream,
Twelve o’clock scream,
Moonlit realities,
What the hell!
Scary noises from tracks,
Haunting attacks,
Awaking from sleep,
Escape from this creep,
Ghost train in motion,
Haunted powered locomotion.
Emergency stop cord pulled.
Into the winter wilderness, 
People run.
