The Big Red Train

my teecher liked my pikture of a train i drawed in skool 
she sed she liked it lots and lots and i was very glad

i showd it to my best frend who then sed it woz so cool
that i woz on a train one day and with my mum and dad


and wen we started off the sun was hot and in the sky
and i sat by a window on the train to see owtside

i sor a man wave to me on a brige as we zoooomed by
and then i saw a big feeld that lukd red and very wide


and then i sor a red horse in that feeld wen we went slow
he must have been so hot with that red coat along his bak

and wen we stopped becuz the train was broke and cudnt go
the horse had run away and maybe got onto the track


we had to clime down from the train just like the pleeceman sed
and he woz old and had bald hair but he woz nice and kind

he told my dad that there was somethink on the lines ahed 
and then the peepul said we had to follow them behind


and wen I drawed that pikture of that train next day at skool
i did not draw the horse becuz i could not but i tried

but i cullerd in the red stuff that i saw in a big pool
underneath the brige were that man waved and jumped and died.

How I wish to hear this in your voice dear poet. so filled with innocence, yet we will never figure out how to teach kids about death. Perplexing it is. Glad I did not miss this write. Congratulations on POTD dear poet. Cheers!!!

Hello Gary. I have been offline for a while but I have enjoyed your writing and I particularly enjoyed this entry. Even with its unique phrasing and construction, I consider it very good traditional poetry with careful attention to rhyme and meter. This was an enjoyable read, and I do like the way you handled the dialogue of the child. I like this one a lot. Robert

Dear Gary, moments in the world are innocent through the eyes of a child. However, when they see a tragic event, they never forget it. Your thoughts hold so many emotions. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

a masterful write Gary. the "misspellings" and choppy cadence had me listening to the story as told by the child. A voice of innocence translating an horrific moment into its simplest forms.

Congratulations on receiving POTD for this phenomenal write. It kind of demonstrates how trauma can be locked into a moment forever, by flashes of red and the mixed feelings about a day or a drawing or an impression of a person. The child like (yet emotive and mood setting) language gives that dissociated feel throughout, then the landing on the final line becomes the forced trauma stop and step away. It all comes through by the skill of your writing Gary, you are very talented.

I can visualize this child. So innocent.

Dear Gary, wow! Your poem, written through the eyes of a child, is exceptional, captivating and heartbreaking. The simplicity of the language and the deliberate misspellings bring me into the child's mind where I view the scene with ease. Your last couplet relays the feeling of a child grappling with what was seen in the simple way that children navigate negative experiences in life.. your poetic emotive finesse shines, my inspiring poet friend. Please don't delete this profound piece. It's a fav for me! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
