Toy Train Poem by Smoky Hoss

Toy Train

Rating: 5.0


Where has my little toy train
gone?
The one I got for Christmas long, long
ago.
Running away with my heart on those shiny tracks
laying below.

I recall the smoke that rolled
soft and slow.
Like the color of peaceful snow
falling.
In my mind I still hear it's whistle sweetly
calling.

The locomotive sleek
and strong.
The boxcars long
and flowing.
My childhood went out riding those rails,
forever going.

Nice poem Smoky. I too have many fond memories of my toy train - and the real ones (I mean steam, of course)

Great poem. Reminded me of my train set when I was a boy. You know how to take us back.
