Steel and Smoke
March 26, 2015
Black billows choke the air
It's almost too much to bear
Eating up coal quickly
Exhaling darkened smoke thickly
Metal grinding metal
Sparks fly, then settle
Humming on the tracks in sweet refrain
Here comes the train!

Whenever I see a train descriptive words like these always come to mind. I used to tutor a child and he really really liked trains. So when I wrote this, I thought of him.
