TERRIFIC TRAIN POEMS SUMMER VACATION OR NEBRASKA/IOWA TRAIN POEM
My mom thought it would be a nice break.
She wanted me to see family friends.
I could not ignore, had not seen them that much before.
I was hoping she was not making a mistake.
I could not wait for it to end.
It, to end, I could not wait.
This, I thought I would hate.
I was a bit shy.
I almost cried when my mom said goodbye.
I did not have a clue. This was a long, long summer.
There would be see, for me, many days.
She would be see, so far away.
She told me see, I could always call her on the phone
I would be less alone.
What was I going to do?
I sit in the grass.
So, slow time does pass.
It seems to stop.
I can hear things pop.
I love to sit and take a look at a book.
Out there on the ground is
where I can be found.
There is so much to do. Never want to be through.
What a view!!
There is so much green to be seen.
The grass and the trees.
I can feel the breeze.
It really see me does please.
I can feel as my face it does tease.
It does tease my face, love this place.
There is a sense of ease.
The track is so close.
There is no fence.
The trains I could touch; love them so much
Watching the trains is so fun.
I never want to be done.
Passenger trains and freight; they are really great
They are so quick.
They are so fast. In a few moments, they are past.
There was a sound like
a heavy rain.
all across the plains.
It is the train.
I hear the horn,
the sound like a mourn.
The trains go east.
The trains go west too.
There are tracks two.
Watching them is what I love to do.
This fact is very, very, true.
This fact is very, very, true.
Watching them is the best.
Cars, dining, sleeping, passenger, baggage.
I hear the click, the clack, the squeak and the squawk.
The first time, it really, really, gave me a fright.
I saw the light in
the middle of night.
It was very bright.
The train did fly. It went by. Then, it weny bye.
Next morning, I saw the smile on their face.
They had not told me, the train went by their place.
The house does sway.
Hopefully, we will be ok.
The house does shake.
The house does quake.
I hope coming here was not a mistake.
The train goes so fast.
So quick, it is past.
This Iowa, Nebraska town is so small.
I have seen it all.
Pretty, more so than
the big city
There is a mall.
I love looking in the stores all.
There is a video arcade.
All the games I have played.
There is a theater for movies. So much fun for me.
There is a library.
See, it was really, really, fun for me.
I found a book about freight trains!!
It was really, really, great!!
I read and read and read.
I read about cars and what they are for.
I read more.
I read about trains and about how they go.
All these things I now know.
All the new info in my head.
I am far from home, but not alone.
I am having so much fun.
Never want it to be done.
I came out here for the summer.
It is really cool.
There is a swimming pool!!
I am having fun in the summer sun.
So much fun, nothing needs to get done.
