The Train Ride Poem by Kaila George

Faces are bland

As they sit on the train

People staring aimlessly

As the scene from the window passes by

You glance at the faceless people as they come and go

To an unknown destination that only they know

Then your imagination gets the best of you

As you sit and wonder who they are

An old man sits alone next to you

His sad eyes speaks volumes of a lonely life

You can see his proud chin lift up in defiance

As younger man bumps and passes on by

Young man in questions ignores the old man

To try and chat up the young pretty girl that caught his eye

She giggles and laughs as he winks at the girl

Bats her long lashes at such a handsome man

Further on down sits a very young mum

Who holds onto her child for fear of flight?

Young child in question looks at his mums stern eyes

And resigns to the fact that he can't run away

Then the clatter of wheels and chugging of Train

As your stops comes to view and you smile to yourself

I think these train rides will be more fun

If I just let my imagination just run wild
