Oh I have so much fun imagining where this one might go. She sounds formidable.
Based this one on my grandmother. She was formidable!
This is like a novel in one line. I love it.

Yep, Each passenger carries a story!
and each line could option a TV series!!!

Love your word choice in this one, Pam.

You are on fire, Pam!

Hope the fire gets me to June 30!
You’ve packed so much character and backstory into one perfect line—her toughness, her multitasking, her place in the world. I want to follow her into that game.

Such musicality and sheer presence when I read this poem out loud, Pam. What a gift!

Using “poker-faced” as a verb—works well!
“toddler in tow”—great visual and the word shape and rhythm mirror the concept.

Another great one liner leaving us wanting more.
🙂 Glad to hear it…riding this train and listening hard for more!
