When I was finished I realized the poem had 6: 4 line stanzas, made up of six syllables each. Wondering if there is a name for this style I may have subliminally used. I have been reading a bit of W.H. Auden

Here is the poem I wrote if anyone cares to read and or comment.
It's called Tracks ~

I wish to bear my soul
In some gratuitous way
Like grafiti on roll
Over a country road

The inner city angst
I've tried hard to escape
Before me now displayed
And I just have to wait

When impulse to be heard
Is all that it would take
But I find all my words
Unbearable to break

With ink as well as paint
On paper or the sides
Of box-cars passing by
It matters not the length

Though try to circumvent
I'll find out soon enough
That patience will prevail
Before my final thoughts

So speak of wanton days
As loud as eyes can see
My time will come alas
And I wil cross these tracks!

It's idyllic, evokes countryside romantic scent and touch.
It's a pastoral poem in the tradition of Chris Marlowe and Walter Raleigh.
