*****
Train on Time
Check my watch
Lean over the rail
Look down the track
Around the platform
Papers swirl
As little tornadoes
The old man coughs
Girls teasing the boys
A very long time
The old man died
The girls grew up
Litter still cyclones
I know my train’s number
1956
Starting there
For fifty years.
*****
Deadline
Punch
The clock
Measures of time
Persist
Carry on
Please rhyme
Provide
Us details
Of foreign travails,
Of music,
Of laughter,
Of wine
Bring us
A player
Piano
Bring us
A riddle
Entwined
Bring us
Some feathers
Some small glowing embers
From far away place
Sublime

So you got suspendered, huh? LOL that is cute! I like your poems. As I recall, the last one I read was very dark but well written. These two are reminiscent of your memories past and also well done. You have a talent for poetry. Do you mind if I add you to my contacts and follow your work? Email me and let me know.
