I think I am going to print this out and give it to a girl I work with. We call her the black cloud because she is always pessimistic. If this doesn't help her I don't know what will. It was a very uplifting and inspiring poem.

My ex was like that - he could walk into a room and bring the mood of everyone there down in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much for your encouraging comments and generous sixth star. I hope the poem helps your friend :-) Brooke

I just love your message, Brooke. I am the person who sometimes goes in reverse, and whenever I hear words like yours, I feel like there is certainly a better life without regret, and leaving my woes behind. Exceptional!

Comment from artisart4u
Beautiful acrostic poem of advise.
The poem flows so easily and seems as if it was easy to write but it probably wasn't.
Keep up the good work.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
A well written Acrostic poem with a very wise message.
Sometimes I can still hear that train whistle blowing though sadly there is no longer a train.To get out of town -? a bus.Lol.
Seriously I noted the good advice and ideally it's perfect.
Sadly the reality is that as humans we just sometimes find this so hard to do.

Comment from tfawcus
The rhythmic clickety-clack of the steam train provided the perfect meter for your poem to echo. There is something in catching a train out of town that does suggest leaving a sense of greyness behind and moving on to better things. I think that most commuters would have felt it.

Brook you are so clever with you thoughts about your

Sounds like to get on the train and get out of town if one is-
cursing about the tribulation of their life.

I enjoyed your poem. It was very easy to read and understand. It's true, bad things happen to all of us. The best thing we can do is to move on from them.

Comment from Starlit Ink
I like the clever use of the sound of a train to help to convey an upbeat meaning. Yes, troubles are to be left behind like a clicking train, since there will be more ahead anyway. Kicking those problems to the rubble is much better. Your poems always leave a smile.

Comment from Donya Quijote
Acrostics and such are among my least favorite poetic types. They always seem contrived, forced, and clunky, but yours is so much smoother than most. It reads well aloud too. I like the message and most importantly I like two words you chose for your poem. Clickety clack and the addition of your well chosen picture compliment each other and enhance your poem. Well done. Best of luck in the contest...

Thanks so much, Donya. I tend to write no more than two acrostics a year when the site contest comes around because they're not my favorites either :-) Brooke
