I enjoyed reading this story within a poem. Your words are well chosen and they convey a spirit of adventure between two buddies on the road. The picture is a striking addition.

This poem expressed several things, and each very well. The desire for adventure is contagious while reading it. The friendship and freedom make me jealous. I don't do well with writings such as this. Give me a prompt for a topic and I'm off and running, but having to place certain words in a poem is intimidating as can be. This is quite well done.
Best of luck to you in the contest,
LynnetteOK

You project a lovely story of escape and togetherness with your entry.
I really like the movement, the fine rhythm.
I do think this is one of the best of all the entries.
Good luck in the contest.

This poem is a homage to the free spirit in us all. It soars with vivid imagery of adventure. The use of the train takes on another specific and fascinating character.

You bring back that era (the Depression) when it was not uncommon for young men to jump into freight cars and see the country. Good description of how it's done and the ENTHUSIASM this young pair had. One error: money in our POCKETS.
