Train

Author: Spartacus2012

Distant train
horn wailing
headlight shining
glinting off
steel rails
parallel lines
into infinity
iron horse
rumbling forward
through the city
past my house...

Loved this one.

We don't have trains over here again but that's so cool that you live close to such a convenience at your disposal but I'm sure its hard to sleep at night soundly with the train making regular stops there. I agree with Martina, cleverly penned my friend.
