I prefer rhyming poetry, but your entry covers all the bases of the writing prompt. Plus it is excellently written. You have painted an excellent picture of a very rainy train ride. Very good work.

I live very close to the train tracks, but I have not seen a STEAM engine in years. Your poem brings back memories of such engines and CABOOSES too. Rod

You have used the words appropriately, you remember those memorable days, state and status of the train and feeling about the train and rain; well said, well done. Write to inspire, change -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from James W. Reynolds
I like how this poem celebrates the romanticism of trains and rail travel. The final line is compelling. I like how the clanging bell morphs into a song. Nice work.
