An excellent and very original acrostic, Brooke. Love the contents of it and the message. I almost missed Sawyer in the photo; he is hiding almost as well as "Where's Wally?"

Franny, thank you so very much for your generous sixth star and thoughtful review. Little Sawyer sure is dwarfed in this photo :-) Brooke
Comment from Lulube
A poem full of wisdom and ways to overcome ones troubling life. Clickety Clack is just what one would image a bungled up mind to sound like. lol
good luck in the contest

Nice work on this poetry form. I like the recurrent theme as it flows across the poem.Your structure matches the rules and honors the intent of an acrostic work. Good luck in your contest.katz

Dear Brooke, this acrostic poem is well written and has such great rhyme and rhythm. Much to ponder in these words. Tears are an important release for the soul, but then there comes a time to get oneself together and move on forward, just like that train. There's a "time for everything under the sun" :)
Thanks for sharing,
Christine

Your poem works even without the acrostic technique, which, at first, I did not notice until I came to end and saw it is a contest entry. Your "train" of thought transports a useful message on a poetic track, with a rhythm that's pleasantly clickety clacking. Good luck!

Dear Brooke,
Clickety Clack get on the train and don't you look back, just keep your eyes looking straight ahead, and don't complain just enjoy the ride.
Good luck in the contest.
Warm regards,
Winslow

This is the BEST acrostic I've EVER read Brooke and I think one of YOUR absolute best too, my friend. You not only wrap sage advice in a fun message that chugged along furiously, but you managed to rhyme it SO beautifully. By Golly I wish I COULD reverse life sometimes...then my train would stop at some stations over and over...and then of course there'd be some I'd just zip straight through without stopping! haha
LOVED this and I simply must give you a sixer for this STERLING effort. Excellent write and I'm gonna toot the horn ALL day about it! haha I love how much fun you have and yet STILL seem to be able stay on the right track! That takes some good steering. LOL

Thanks so much, Linda - I wonder how old he has to be before he tells his mother he won't wear hats with ears anymore. LOL :-) Brooke

12...13...30...???? tooooooooo funny...luff

Sawyer's mother is 30 - she won't do a damn thing I tell her, so I'm pretty sure he'll refuse her fashion choices before then. LOL :-)

Thanks so much, Tango - that explains why I hardly ever write an acrostic except when a free contest is running. LOL :-) Brooke
Comment from ravenblack
Just don't throw mama from the train- sorry, a bad movie reference to a bad movie. Train whistles in the distance always makes me wistful, the promise of new vistas to explore unless you are stuck in Folsom prison ( sorry Mr. Cash). I think the answer is to listen less to the mournful horn and more to the whimsical clickety-clack.
