This page is about a fun and exciting poem called From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. The poem describes a fast train ride where everything outside—houses, trees, rivers, and people—zooms by so quickly! The words make it feel like you are on the train, watching the world rush past.
The poem has a special rhythm, like the sound of a train going "chug-chug-chug!" It uses rhymes and fast-moving words to make the reader feel the speed of the journey. As you read, you can imagine looking out of the train window and seeing all the places and people for just a moment before they disappear!
This is a great poem for kids because it helps them imagine a speedy adventure while learning about rhymes and rhythm in poetry. It’s like taking a train ride with words!
