Snow Train

As the snow is

tidal in the trees,

consider the tracks

and the dark tons

asthmatic with steam,

cold as the moon`s slight

black as the stars are hidden,

perfect as a pulse of wheel;

dead crate of steel

that rests and waits

then moves by magic

through the ice night.

Even surrounded by blankets, hiding from the northeastern cold, I felt a chill reading this poem. Great use of adjectives and unique language to illustrate a scene. Brilliantly done!

We do have the SNOW...also freezing below zero temperatures. No steam trains though. I only saw these in films, I loved them. Valentine
