I have a thing about steam engines .. and am lucky enough to both see and hear them most days as they trundle along the GWR .. a smashing poem Tom that made me hanker after a time when steam was indeed king .. Neville

I got on a steam train. It would not start. An anti-pollution campaigner chucked water on the coal fire in the engine! lol. Am I telling porkies?

Good write, Tom. My uncle worked for the railroad as a Fireman. Took me down late one night and the Engineer let me drive the engine to pick up the water. 75 years later I remember it as though it were yesterday.

The thing about writing is that a thought can come out of nowhere and begin to proliferate of its own accord, you just have to go with the flow and let it lead you. I love the analogy of each stanza, so well versed. The last one tops it off beautifully.

Powerful metaphor. Writing is a bit like cooking.

Just don\'t bewail your state here when inspiration (muse?) deserts you - I\'ve done it, many here have too. Just got to relax, and keep that notebook plus writing implement by the bed....
You do just fine to me, Tom

Good advice. The more you write the more practice you will get and the more people that will read and the greater the chance that many of those will be great. Nicely stated

So true Tom, hearing seagulls in the city can take you back to times at the seaside.

I enjoyed the sea side nostalgia here Tom and the wonderful imagery your words offered. Sea gulls can be both a menace and beautiful. I love to watch them in flight. Happy Thursday.
