Llwyngwril Station by Adam Rutter

credit Adam Rutter

Behind the station platform

Stands a house

Red-brick home with grey gable

Faces green fields

And the sea

Running through the edge of Llwyngwril

A railway track trails between trees and hedgerows

Leaving a gap from

The redundant platform

On the other side

Covered in grass, briers, bushes

I see platform edge

Between the branches

Grass buries the old rail loop

Pecking on the grass

A goldfinch

Nice descriptive work, Adam. "Track trails between trees" is a great mix of alliteration and assonance. Sound.

Captures the feel of abandoned railway tracks. This one seems to have made quite an impression on you Adam.
