Thanks, Mark. The praise means a lot. You're the poet, not me.

You've written a very good poem. It must be difficult to write a poem based on someone else's picture. I couldn't do it even if they gave me their entire photo album.

You have an interesting perspective on trains. Railroad tracks appeared to be lava beds. It was difficult to relate "Natural Disasters" with man-made locomotives but overall the poem flowed well, until the last line. the last line broke the theme of the rest of the poem. Even though it helped the reader to understand the meaning of "Metal Demons."

Your poem reminded me of my grandmother who lived in the desert where the trains passed. So I love this line "Inferno on wheels, moving volcano." This evoked fond memories for me instead of natural disasters, but everyone brings their own perspective and history to a poem.

Thank you for sharing your fine acrostic poem on trains.

MJ,

I enjoyed your picture challenge poem. Your 'tiny' acrostic speaks volumes about what those old fashioned trains remind me of, too. I like the 'inferno on wheels' line.

Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Nicely done acrostic for the challenge, Maria. Trains can be interesting to hear in the middle of the night. I live less than a mile from the tracks and hear the trains often during the night Patricia
