A clever and well written acrostic Brooke filled with wisdom. Crying does not get us anywhere though I often wish life had a reverse. At our house we have mulligans or do overs.
Great poem, good use of alliteration, perfect rhyme. Well done.
Blessings
Janet

Hi Brooke,

Nice use of clickety-clack to create your acrostic, very appropriate given the subject. As you say life has no reverse.

Too often, this seems the only option. Sometimes it is right, sometimes it is not.

Good poem. The acrostic is wonderful

Hello, That is one fine poem. It has some good truth in it..I love the last line, just go on, get out and do it with style.
Life can be an Edsel or a great train ride...I'll take the train, thanks.

Life has no reverse. << And wishing it did is pointless

You need to leave life's rubble. << Superb line!


WOW! You've said it all here, Brooke. Clever and to the point. :)

This is just a fun poem that leaves us to really want to try and get over the past. What's done is done. However you can learn from the past. Very good poem.

    Janie, thank you so much. Travel Town is part of Griffith Park in L.A., so Sawyer has visited several times. What's not to love about a bunch of trains? LOL I appreciate your generous sixth star. Brooke

Cursing all that's happened
Leaves you beaten down.
Ask yourself if staying on
Can turn your life around.
Keep your sights on what's ahead
and blow on out of town!

A grey day eh? Wonderful Acrostic and it's rhymed too. Amazing Btooke. I love your choice of words.

This feels like a message for me! I have been the rider in this piece for many yrs. Only very recently have I started to overcome my past pains and disappointments, and really live again. I still have those days though! This piece spoke to me, and I love what it said! Very encouraging, and I love the clickety clackety way it sounds when read out loud! Excellent!
