Trains have always symbolized our life’s journey in my mind – our pursuit of new destinations, powered by our dreams and hard work.
In honor of National Poetry Month, I’ve packaged this sentiment into an original Haiku poem…
Trains
Racing toward its goals,
Arrive – a glimpse of glory –
Rushing, breathless…………………gone.

That’s a cool shot of a steam engine. (Great haiku too, didn’t mean to dismiss that.) Where was this taken? Amazing that you were on the side of the tracks and could get this shot.

Oh no, I didn’t take this one. I found it under “Wikimedia Commons,” which is where I find a great deal of my photos.
