Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #283

 

Here is our fun photo challenge


 


Pardon grammar* but I'm rhyming

When my shift was over, it was late
I ran as fast as I could to catch the train
When I got to the gate,
I was tired famished
I had not slept or ate*
The choo choo was full
I said boo hoo 
I found a seat
the choo choo started off
slowly, it rocked  me to sleep.
Next time I get pizza 
I'll eat before I sleep

  10. Hi Cecilia, you captured that moment perfectly in your poem! :). Poor guy, it is like when you see a little kid drop his ice cream cone, it gets you in the heart. Have a wonderful evening ahead! :)

  12. I love your fall header. And yes, grammar doesn't matter in poetry. Probably most of your readers wouldn't have even noticed!
