Trains :


Have you travelled on a train? Read and enjoy this poem.


Over the mountains,

Over the plains,

Over the rivers,

Here come the trains.


Carrying passengers,

Carrying mail,

Bringing their precious loads

In without fail.


Thousands of freight cars

All rushing on

Through day and darkness,

Through dusk and dawn.


Over the mountains,

Over the plains,

Over the rivers,

Here come the trains.


James S. Tippett


The word POETRY originates from a Greek word meaning TO MAKE. A poet is thus a maker and the poem something that is made or created. No single definition of poetry is possible but some characteristic features of poetry may be mentioned. Poetry has a musical quality with rhythm, pitch, metre and it may use figures of speech such as simile and metaphor. While quite a few poems in this selection are in traditional forms, the unit also includes modern poems that are free from formal restrictions.


Here is a list of English Poems written by various authors. Whatever the question is, poetry may be the answer. Writers say poetry provides them with comfort, a way to express themselves and the discipline of finding the essence with few words. Writing the poem (and finding just the right word) is the measure of success that the authors use. Really good poetry is instinctive. It’s who you are. It’s from the heart. You need to expose yourself to all kinds of poets and you may find your motivation and muse that way. Poetry gets to the core meaning. Poetry expands ideas.
