Acrostic Train

April 5, 2022

Thundering down the tracks
Railroad lights begin to flash as the
Arms swing down.
I wait, watching an affinity of cars passing by. The

Noise from the horn echoes into the night.

<p>There is an omnious tone to this acrostic poem, which adds to the imagery used to describe the setting. The word choices are very vivid and original, while appealing to sight and sound, whilst encouraging feeling of the "thunderous train." My favourite part of the poem would have to be the last sentence, "Noise from the horn echoes into the night.¨ because of the forbidding tone held in the sentence. The form being acrostic is the only thing telling the readers what the poem is describing, which I think is very creative, and nicely written. </p>
