Description

There is a woman who never was,
Least not like you and me.
Her whispers heard on old steam trains
Almost silently.

No one knows from whence she came
Nor where she goes from here,
Yet passengers report words soft
Nationwide so fair.

So, if you ride upon a rail
Where she has stoked her flame
You're sure to have travels safe
Upon Her Swift Soul Train.
-Laura E. Swan

Beautiful composite image, Pom! I really like your choice of color on this SP ~ lovely, mysterious result. Your poem matches the mood of the image, and vice-versa. Great job on both!
Enjoy your weekend!! #10802736

Hi Everybody! I made this one a while back.

Do any of you remember when we were buying Camera Cards a few years back and some of them came with a free trail for certain DDR programs? There would be a little key code there? Well this was one of those programs.

I made a few different ones that are SP's so I will be entering them all.

Thanks, you guys. I had fun making the poem, too.
