Off the Rails
<><> Sam looked around the train car in confusion. There was a young couple sitting in front of him, laughing and looking through travel brochures of New York City. They were so immersed in their plans that they didn’t seem to notice him. He recognized both of them and opened his mouth to speak, but their names escaped him, and he closed his mouth once more.

These Words Erase Me
. . . Author’s Note: The following is the 17th poem in my self-challenge to write a poem a day. It is a free verse poem — a touch scatterbrained, but deeply personal and relatable for many writers, I believe. Thank you for reading and wish me luck to keep the pace ❤

Shadows of My Childhood
Author’s Note: This poem is inspired by the cover image, taken by Me in Tuscon, AZ, USA. Swinging was always a favorite pastime for me as a child, thus the title: “Shadows of my Childhood.” I hope you enjoy this 13th poem in my self-challenge to write a poem a day. Click Here to read the 1st poem in this series. And, as always, Mahalo for reading! ❤
