I pictured myself at the edge of a train track in my car waiting for a train to go by and then the relief of the train finally getting out of my way and me getting to continue on my way. Nice poem it brought about great imagery.

You been busy while I've been sleeping friend, and I didn't even get an invite? Deep is the wound! Woe is Me!
I liked your Sopranos piece Sue, one could hear the train as it clattered down the track caboose and all. I'm just going to wander off and find some new friends to play with ...On The Tracks maybe!

Wow! You sure did a great job on this. It's like reading a story with some hidden meaning behind it. I love figuring it out. You use beautiful words, as usual. I love this one.

Stellar poem! I was a nanny for a while, and the 4-year-old boy I watched just LOVED trains. I used to take him to the local train station once or twice a week to watch the trains. One of the coolest things about it is that it's a station from the 1800's and it has a mini-museum inside of it with all kinds of cool things to look at. It's easy to sit on the bench outside the station and imagine yourself back in that time period.

Anyway, enjoyed this poem. Great work!

I can hear the train, feel its passing. Well invoked, and of course the poem flows beautifully. This review is apparently too short to be useful so I'll make it longer.

Dear Sue,
This one does not count in the Lioness/Hyena comp.. You did a remarkable job, on this very strange format, to create a rhythmic sequence of statements that do sound poetic and the alliteration is great.
Regards
Reg
PS Have a go at the next line -- it will only have 21 syllables.

"The Train" read like a clickety-clack train racing down the tracks. Beautifully written, smooth to read, with a nice rhythm. Good luck!

Hi, Sixteezkid! This FIB is really touching. I just read about this new (to me) form and think it is fascinating. Thank you for sharing. It looks quite challenging!

Nice structure, wonderful images.
