Twiglet #201

weedy rail tracks

A twiglet’s aim is to “prompt” a thought. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but comments should not be expected

  2. Hi Tuesday Voters (some)
    Kids loved stepping
    on weeks grown tall
    through rails
    of old train tracks.

    She sprung up
    like a weed,
    thin as a rail.

    girl gathers weeds
    in bunches to bring home
    near the rusted rails

                     There once was a hobo named Jack
                     who loved riding boxcars on track.
                          He drank a little
                         and played the fiddle
           Jack's tales caused bosses to turn their backs.

    1. Fun… I remember growing like a weed one summer. Though I’m not all that tall. Just taller than some in my family. Limerick is cool. I think I’d like Jack too.
