Simplicity corrupted by man's ever growing ambitions. I enjoyed this poem alot!

Ah. The world is changing, and changing fast. Mother Nature will have a say about that, no doubt.

I loved this one as I have sat on an unhurried train and watched the beauty all around go slowly by, it gave you pause, un hurried we used to savor things. Great poem. Bob

You are really good. A poet after my own taste. There are so few of us.

You're so right, & how often it is we only notice these things when they're already gone... I love the words of this one - 'tentacular' is one to roll around the tongue & savour all day.

The title is inspired. The craziness that so-called progress can be, yet this poem also made me nostalgic for things I've never experienced, because my usual answer to the questions posed was sadly, 'No, ' and it made me wish my answer was, 'Yes.' Lovely read, L&T

Bravo, beautiful imagery!

I enjoyed reading this the first time. Then read it again to figure out what I had read - all of your imagery. I think I have except for one or two things - words that I never new existed. That's the beauty of poetry. Let your imagination paint the day. You have made an effective choice of words - real or otherwise.

Wow! can I board that slow train to yesteryear were all was simple and you have no fear

lFabulous imagry portrayed here Frank, very creative piece indeed with a wonderful use of the vocabulary. I love this piece, thoroughly enjoyed the read Frank---Thankyou---Melvina

Beautiful imagery - thank you Worlds away from my crammed commuter Clair

an excellent poem again, i love the way your poetry always makes me pull it apart into sections and think of every verse and lets me enjoy them the more i read them.Thank you for sharing your work, jo x

....as time marches backwards.

like the way you work with words here for example, the track, a cul de sac and bring things together like a story.....enjoyable read for me..........mm. :)

Thanks for the journey of the progress train... what a pity it has to be onward without a stop over to enjoy... Alison

what a great poem frank! a style all of your own (i think) .it works for me anyway! al.

This is a seminal piece of excellent poetry; simple word choice, vivid imagery, universal ideas. Melded with almost casual ease. Rgds, Ivan

This is a delicious pastoral piece of Irish nostalgia written with style and without sentimentality. In particular I love 'makers of methane freckle furiously on the skin of green'. Fascinating images, gentle humour and a wise message to boot. Moo to you too. love, Allie xxxx
