Comment from donaldww
Excellent rhymes in this whimsical "When You're Smilin'" kind of poem. My guess is that Sawyer has become a fan of trains and loves imitating their sounds, given the onomatopoeic title and acrostic inspiration.
Cheers,
DW

Comment from Kingsrookviii
This has a great message and is a great poem. I imagine Sawyer loves train, especially steam engines like this picture. I think all boys like the. By the way, the picture of him as a baby is adorable.
Great, advice about life here and packages into poetry to boot. Great job, as always. I hope little Sawyer gets to ride an old train while a few still run. I've no doubt it would be chronicled by a lot of pictures and poem. I think a certain Grandmother loves a certain little boy!

Kingsrook, thank you so much for your thoughtful review :-) The bath picture is current. He just must look younger when he's nude LOL :-) Brooke

last time I told someone that, she slapped me! LOL Just joking. Sometimes I cannot help myself. He is something else. Kids are great, especially Grand-kids.

LOL - you made my day with that remark :-)

I ain't 'blowing on out of town', Brookers - you're stuck with me. :-)
Excellent philosophy - if only we could do it so easily.
Anyway, I like a good 'cry' now and then. I just had one at the TV adverts - so moving. ;-)
Original, interesting and fun words, very skilfully and poetically put together, on an old theme.
Best wishes, Ted

You just know how to speak to me Brooke! I want to recite this poem daily. It flows impeccable, with an excellent meaning and advice - all of us should follow it. Let go of the past and move forward. Super!

Very nice, Brooke. The rhythm is wonderful. I like the rhymes and this tells a good message. I love the last two lines. If that's the case, there is nothing like a train rid. too bad they don't have more of them. Miss Sally

Comment from rama devi
Excellent acrostic with didactic tone yet whimsical. Well rhymed and timed, as usual!
Good phrasing:
Life has no reverse.
True:
If you dwell upon the past
Conditions just get worse.
Superb alliteration and consonance of T, L and C-K sounds too; great rhymes:
Kick your problems to the curb,
Evict each trial and trouble,
Tarry not where sorrows dwell --
You need to leave life's rubble.
I like how you've collected a handful of cliche phrases and MADE THEM FRESH! Brilliantly achieved. Bravo.
Love,
rd

Comment from Joy Graham
Nice acrostic. Your title grabs my interest and curiosity. Love the line starter words of conditions and evict. I love the train theme. Good motivator like the little engine that could. Good meter throughout.

Thanks so much, Joy - I had fun with this one as I committed to it without having the foggiest idea what I was going to do with those Cs and Ks. LOL I appreciate your generous sixth star. Brooke

Very well done, Brooke. Acrostics don't always flow very well but you've done a masterful job here. You talented woman you...

Jo Lynn, thank you :-) That is why I only write one acrostic every six months when the site sponsors a contest. LOL Brooke
Comment from GracieAnn
Brooke, this Acrostic Poetry Contest entry is delightful in its simplicity, yet filled with sound advise that if followed the past is of no consequence. The final line is a sweet declarative. Nice rhyme and occasional alliteration. All the best in the contest. :0 GracieAnn
