Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The railroad: 1 of 47
The Unknown DestinationThe sound of the distant whistlestirred a long ago memory,awakening his elderly and weary mind.Back to when life was good,the pace was slowand people were always kind.His thoughts drifting back to timeslong ago, when he'd sit by the oldrailroad track.Watching, waiting eagerly,for the first sign ofblack ...

"Puddles and Cuddles"My sweet little boy,with your big brown eyes.Little feet soaking wet,but I'm not surprised.Trying to jump puddleswas your favorite game.When I would call you in,you'd ignore your own name.Total oblivion to mommy's call,those puddles you lovedmaking you jump, till you fall.Finally heading home to me,you'd ...
