I love that last line. Clever. And your message here is truly a good one. We do need to let go of the past and not agonize over it. Wonderful philosophy that psychologists would agree with. Neat poem.

Brooke, I loved this poem, so I printed it out. I can read it often. I enjoy acrostic poems, but most of all, I liked your piece, because it has a powerful message. Many folks can benefit from your poetic words. Carole

Comment from Leineco
I'm so glad the site is finally working again! Your poem
was a lovely welcome back.
The meter contained is just wonderfully driven by the
clickity-clack of the train
and the message (stoke the engine with the detritus
of your strife, toss in your troubles too, and head on
to a new destination) can never be repeated too often :-)

Great advice for the depressed and despaired, life is indeed to short to dwell on one's own shortcomings. Very descriptive wording and great flow. As a retired railroader, I particularly like your photo of the old steamer. Good work and good luck in the contest, adepearl.

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
Love the onomatopoeic (is that the adjective for "onomatopoeia"?) choice of topic for the acrostic: "Clickety Clack," and the moral taught in the poem: keep at it, keep going, go on with your life. What a rich life Sawyer must have, having family who see to it that he has many experiences. Love, Jeanie

Jeanie, thank you so much. My daughter works triple time coming up with activities for him, both field trips like this and just stuff at home. Today she tells me they were reading a picture book that identifies objects in both English and Spanish, and he knows all the Spanish words. He knows that mariposa is butterfly and agua is water, etc and gets very excited about the whole thing :-) I just love the two of them together :-) Brooke

Jeanie, thank you so much. My last thank you did not go through. I hope this one does :-) Brooke

You're welcome, Brooke - and, yes, both replies came through. Your daughter sounds like a real keeper. And, of course, Sawyer is so smart to learn Spanish and just see it as fun. Love, Jeanie
-
at 22 months I don't think he really can have the concept of English and Spanish and people from two countries having different languages - he just accepts that there are different words for the same thing and that seems pretty cool to him LOL

Hello adewpearl, Brooke, A silky smooth rhyming acrostic. It's message is precious. I especially liked:
Kick your problems to the curb,
Evict each trial and trouble,
Tarry not where sorrows dwell --
You need to leave life's rubble.
(So very, very true. Too many get caught-up in self-pity.)
A poem of wisdom and truth. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Hi Brooke. This is a poem I enjoyed reading. Acrostic can be very challenging and you did it very well. The message is also uplifting, positive.
Indeed it is important to move forward and let behind the clouds.
Good luck.
