Train Approaching, a Poem About Impatience

Last Updated on April 8, 2025 by Candice Landau

This poem is not currently part of a book as are some of my other poems. It has, however, already been compiled into a new compilation of poetry I intend to publish.

I wrote about how I created the image for this poem in my article, Creating AI Art for Your Blog When Real Images Don’t Exist.

You told me
These days people rush
Into everything.

I agreed because
I agree, but
It took a moment
Even a few days because
My mind spoke over me
   Mind the gap
   Doors closing
   Train departing
And I dashed to get on board.

Why this frenzy
When the system is sound?
There is always another train
On the way.
