What a lovely poem. It looks so simple on the surface but is actually so well-crafted. I can just feel and hear the train chugging along and all those sights flashing by as it trundles past. Beautiful combination of sound and sight. Wish I could poetry like this.
Thanks, Calliopia. It takes a sensitive reader to feel the poet's pulse.
Collapse, what happened?
neeeaaat. sorry, but thats about as articulate as i can get now-been reduced to grunts and growls. love the last line(s)-lovely close.
A journey indeed. I can picture myself right there, mesmerizing at all the sceneries passing by while engulfed in the stench of the dirty compartments of S1, S2, S3 etc :)
Ps. You profile along with your pic has been updated, pi Mesjay.
Thanks, Illusionaire, thanks a lot!
