The train whistle blows through the night. Children grip their pillows tight. Eventually the whistle fades into the distance.
Though now that it has moved on another child must hear its call and the child cries for mommy and daddy to come into the room!
What is it with this train causing terror in every child? Something even a child cannot understand.
The terror train. It is calling to the children and the children must answer the demand!
"Bobby? What is it?" "The train mommy...make the train go away!" "It is just a train honey, now go to sleep."
The train whistle blows through the night. Children grip their pillows tight. The train takes something from them we are not meant to know.
For even as the children cry they cannot say exactly why..... but the train...the whistle.... O! It bothers them so.

Cool poem Michael.
You know, when I was growing up, I would hear the train whistle every night (the train tracks were about 1/2 mile down the road, and I only heard the whistle at night after I went to bed), but I always liked the sound of the whistle. It was comforting in its own way.

I once moved into an area where a train came thru town about 1:00 AM every night. For the longest time, I sat bold upright in my bed...every night... until I got used to it. Finally got there, though. I like this one, Michael.
