This work has reached the exceptional level

An excellent piece of an acrostic poem which is very inventive, illuminative and ingenious Because you added an excellent rhyming pattern to it which neither rhymes were forced, labored or strained and that rhyming made the rhythm flow smoothly throughout the poem. Thanks for sharing and posting your work for everyone and may you always find peace forever in wherever you are.

Solid message Brooke. We cannot keep dwelling on the past, this will only bring us down. We need to look ahead into the future indeed! Nice acrostic.

Kind regards

Sarah

That is totally true. Life has no reverse. Do well and move on. Do wrong, fix it. You cannot dwell on the past because it will not change. What were the songs words,"clickety clack, don't come back"!

Great last lines, "keep your sights on what's ahead and blow out of town".

Good luck in the voting. John

Acrostic and onomatopoeia make perfect bedfellows, so your title really worked for me, and you put it to solid use. Great fun, well realised, and a flow that mimics the running train metaphor. Brilliant!

Lovely and delightful with a strong message to those who hold on the past. I am guilty of such sometimes, but not as often as I used to. Great writing and a joy to read.

Crying might release the tension, Brooke. The rest is very good advice. I enjoyed reading this poem. It is well written. I have no suggestions.

i am never quite sure how to review an acrostic poem, but I really like this one, Brooke, because of the clever rhyming. Your sage advice to quit crying and get on with life is very well expressed for ALL readers.

Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Sometimes people who dwell in the past do that.

What an excellent acrostic for the contest - I wish you luck in the contest with this one. Great idea I think of using a 'sound' so's to speak for your words. Great picture, absolutely love the black and white presentation - Dinah

Clickety Clack all the way out of town. Great advice to those who get stuck at the train station feeling sorry about their life. "Evict each trial and trouble" is my favorite line. Just get on out of here. Focus on the road and ahead and Clickey Clack on out of town. 8-)
