Great work Soren. This was a nice poem to wake up to as it’s a little humorous. Nonetheless the rhyming and descriptive words are on point, nice job.

Soren, this is bold and unapologetic. The rhythm drives hard, relentless, and playful all at once. It knows exactly what it’s doing and leans into it without flinching. That confidence carries the whole piece. Well done, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

People still hanker for steam engines in Britain, and the resurgence is brilliant.
You can feel steam at work, and no doubt, Smokey Mary put you through your paces, and you probably cursed a few times.
Now it\'s all comfort and no joy in trains.

arqios said:

Reminds me of that coach with night mares , was it the segment of the spirit of Christmas Future? I\'ve taken to writing with pen and paper before bed for anywhere between quarter of an hour to half an hour just to unburden my mind of the days input and (over) stimuli. Hope all is well your way. πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, this is powerful. Time as motion, memory as shadow, life as something witnessed rather than steered. The descent into darkness and sleep closes the loop perfectly. Thoughtful work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Gestation
Durdica Porobija said:

A metaphysical poem about the closeness of nature, mythology, religion and poetry...

Perfection
Durdica Porobija said:

A metapoetic poem with the thesis that it is impossible to record a perfect poem in the human heart and mind. Does this mean that language is imperfect and that emotions are unattainable?

Very strong and emotional point.

I liked how the train seems to symbolize life. We pass by different monuments from time to time but we can’t stop the train to get out and look around. A very good write.

Asleep in a waking illusion or perhaps its opposite ?

Soman Ragavan said:

\"We travel...\" Indeed, Man is a wanderer by nature. This explains why continents and seas were explored. \"Images pass...\" : the illusion that it is the scene outside that is moving, when in fact it is our train which is the one moving... Man is restless, he has got to travel and poets are the ones who record those wanderings.

This is dark and depressing and spot on.
You can fly to the moon and the earth looks great, but in reality we\'re dying in our own filth.

Soren your imagery has made me hungry! You also perfectly conveyed how the sweet things in life sometimes go too fast but they always leave an impact. Another amazing poem.

Soren, this speaks to that moment when love and pleasure become memory instead of presence. I recognize that strange ache of having had enough…and too much. Thoughtful piece. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
