Best Passenger Train Poems
Things I'M Thankful ForTo see a sunny sky
To hear a baby cry
For a glimpse of daylight
And a soft kiss at midnight
For a cool drink of water
And a smile from my daughter
To have the blues on the run
And to get a hug from my son
On and on there is...

Soles Here----Souls GoneMusicians played classics as condemned marched under “ARBEIT MACHT FREI.”
Losing their “SOLES” and “SOULS” the future options for each gassee!
For every pair of empty leather “SOLES” you see,
they took a lovely “SOUL” away from you and me.
They also took their hair, gold teeth and skin,
piled...

Traveling By TrainI left my childhood home to take
a nationwide train ride,
to meet my love who had gone ahead
and was waiting for his bride.
It took me two nights and a day
to reach his loving arms.
I had a happy tale to tell
of the train ride and its charms.
Since...

I Can'T Touch But You CanFour and five decades ago a washerman
lived in my village named Fanne
handsome, amazing and funny.
Month of Falgun, month of joy
got more fun when Fanne put on
fancy costume to make life on.
Who can dare to say...

Unimaginable PainUnbearable is the pain when we lose someone we very much cherish
But unimaginable, the pain becomes when we see a youth perish!

ShudderI am Monday on a Friday,
Who knew the stars aligned to sing us through the pangs of life and eternity?
A thing called life in a language in a dialect that is as probable and functional as the click of the tongue of the Kung Bushmen.
Who...

The Rails of CelebrationIt was Christmas with all the holiday cheer
It was a lovely Christmas tree that brought the feeling to preserver
But what made Christmas stand out it was my B&O railroad I am talking about
It was a layout of Baltimore & Ohio railroad being a thrill
My locomotive...

Narrative
National TragedyHappy was Death last night
When he saw the youth coming his way
He observed them with delight
Knowing that it was their last day.
At once his arms opened wide
For his heart was filled with great joy
And after watching the trains collide
He embraced every girl and boy.

It Happened Before
Understand this,
understanding matters!
Wrap your mind around
a spicy burrito sun flared thought
Now take a bite ...
see the fuego aurora bursts of light
Elevating spiritual awareness
fires up the furnace brimstone coals,
and pumps up the prophetic bellows
Knowledge of God is a wisdom bush
not consumed by the carnal...

Boys Will Be BoysHe’d have to take his new jeans off to swim
Or mom is sure to paddle his tail.
So, his skinned them off, climbed atop the railroad bridge,
folding them with the greatest care, laid them on the rail.
It was the first day of summer vacation and...

Coo Coo For My Choo ChooThe trains are always on time
One running north
One running south
On the same track
It makes perfect sense when they collide
Who are we to question business practice
Authority is always right up and down the line
Little Bambi nibbles grass between the rails
Poor thing doesn't understand mass transit
East and...

Town By the Trackstown by the tracks
train goes through
day and night
a passenger train station
making the town flourish
money made from the station
brings tourists
easier to get to and from the city
and then it truly is up to you
where you want to live
Town by the tracks
building a trainstation
so the town can...

Lover With Long NosesA man and woman met
in a moving passenger train
Fell in love they did
but both had long noses
two weeks they tried to kiss
but no way to reach there
both noses pleaded long
both tried grabbing chances
but no success within reach
let’s go to doctor for advice
and lo! surgery...

Bashes of SmilesWhenever I enter classroom
Girls scribble to me bashes of smiles
I do not know why!
Whenever I enter a bank
Tellers click to me sparks of smiles
I do not know why
Whenever I go to church to pray
Women bite me with a rainbow of smiles
I do not know...
