I especially appreciated how the poem begins by simply observing the landscape before revealing the deeper questions it carries. The images of old canals and railways lingering in the present stayed with me. Thank you for this thoughtful piece.
It was an interesting one to write, as we sped along on the slow train home, pacing the old canal route. It began as simply me enjoying the idea of being on the canal watching the trains and then the poem blossomed into way more than just the aesthetics of canal trips. It’s great to hear the it worked and resonated with you.
Thank you for taking the time to read it and to comment 🙏🙏
