I have a passion for visiting transport museums, to see old trains, planes, buses, cars, even ships if it’s possible.
This has led to taking a number of voyages on the TSS Earnslaw in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Many, many, many years ago on Puffing Billy, a steam train in the Dandenongs, Victoria, Australia.
The steam train in Kingston, New Zealand, before it was closed down, but hopefully it will reopen sometime in the future.
The London Transport Museum in London England, which had a lot of buses.
The Workshops Railway Museum in Ipswich, Queensland, where once the many steam engines were built and maintained, and now had only a handful of engines remaining.
However, in the quest for finding and experiencing old transportation methods, we came across the Mary Valley Rattler, which runs out of Gympie, Queensland, Australia.
The ride begins in Gympie at the old Gympie Railway station, and…

Hands
There was a road that leads him to go to find
a certain time where he sits.
Smokes quietly in the evening by the four legged
table wagging its (well why not) tail, friendly
chap.
Hears footsteps, looks to find his own feet gone.
The road absorbs everything with rumors of sleep.
And then he looked for himself and even he was gone.
Looked for the road and even that

Men of the Docks
Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 1
Theme: Winter
Subject: Men of the Docks by George Bellows
The collars turned against the icy chill
A huddle of dockers stand the long wait
In hopes of work, a day’s wage pays a bill
For cargo to come in, cargo to go
While working for low pay to meet the rent
Men with no choice but to go with the flow
As they wait on to make another cent
This life of poverty carries no frill
Some cannot remember when they last ate
Desperate eyes stare where the north winds blow
For the next cargo ship to circumvent
The frozen waters that hug empty docks
Some watch the changing tide, some watch the clocks
With many fearing they’ll hear landlord’s locks

Michael Lee Aday (Meat Loaf)
27 September 1947 – 20 January 2022
RIP
Another rock legend passed into the celestial hall of fame. Meat Loaf will be greatly missed. Now, I will let the legacy, his music will speak
Three anthems of rock that have been a safe haven for me since my teens.
Travel safely, Meat Loaf,
In love and light
Raven
