Hi Brooke! What a great use of the acrostic form to convey a poem about being proactive and persevering. I reaflly like the use of onomatopoeia and the sounds in this write were awesome. The mixed meter works very well too to give this a bouncy rhythm. Nothing sounds forced either. Excellent work.

A very nice and fully rhythmic poem in trochee! I strongly believe in your poem. God has created a vast Earth for us with its numerous and miscellaneous halting places and has ordered us to migrate if we cannot change conditions and have no alternative. However, We may have some dear young and old ones left to feel hard on leaving them. In this case, patience will be promising for a prosperous future and is but the lifestyle of prophets. So many thanks for inspiring a noble idea!

Comment from amahra
I'm glad I read author notes. I didn't see Sawyer at all a few feet from the train. Great acrostic poem, but didn't know that the 'a' beginning the last sentence was permitted, since not a part of acrostic.

Hi Brooke,
This is such a delightful way to tell folks not to dwell in negativity. I love the line: Kick your problems to the curb - that's so cute. And of course the last two lines are fun and whimsical as well. Thanks for the smile.
Hugs,
Lou

Comment from Just Pete
A perfectly worded and rhymed acrostic poem with a message for all of us. The sentiment it expresses is so applicble to the modern day stresses and challenges. The rhythm of a train on its tracks is also a great imitation of the day to day, one step at a time philosophy. Very well constructed.

Lovely acrostic dear Brooke and specially when Sawyer
takes part in it.
With all the new things I'm surprised these "Clickety Clack" vehicles are still around. Kids like them and that is important.
Have a nice day!

What a great acrostic to "Clickety Clack"! Your meter is so great here that I can almost hear the clickety clack of the train! I am sure Sawyer loved it. Great piece for children and adults alike.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face.
Love, Yelena

If I had a six Brooke I'd leave it here; I love this one and you gave it rhythm, and made it rhyme. Looks like a mini sonnet form. Kenny

Do you ever slow down? Thankfully, not! I left you an excellent poet about five years ago and you just keep getting better.
Love your simple, uncluttered, unforced balance in your poetry.
Thank you for sharing!

Jay, actually, I've only been posting one poem every three days lately, so I have slowed down :-) Thanks so much for your gracious

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is an interesting post from the author in this piece of writing. This is so true. We need to put our troubles behind us and think positively about things. There is an old saying that is very apt here. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.
