SAMPLE POEM
​

The Train in the Distance
 
The smell of cut grass in the air
A studious bird which makes no sound
Stands out of reach of the feline brood
That horn I often hear echoes afar
A train just passing through
Carrying workers and day trippers alike
Two metres apart of course
Rules must be followed
Even by the trolley man
Offering butties and teas
Pulling the cart down the aisle
Careful not to bump into feet and dint shoes
I can hear it screech upon the hot metal tracks
Sweating faces peering through glass
Whizzing past the endless fields
And a weird shack in the overgrowth
As I sit beside the expanding tree
Miles away, unseen by them
And neighbours around me speak but say nothing
Wasted words instantly forgotten
Like a thought I might have myself
Vital now, but worthless within the hour
Up by the expanding tree
With the train in the distance
Which is merely passing through
