  Wow, what a creative and thought-provoking poem! I love the metaphor of life being like a train ride, and how we all have a seat no matter who we are. The imagery of the train being messy or neat adds an interesting layer to the poem, and I appreciate the nod to the inevitability of death with the mention of the Cemetery station.
  
  As far as improvement suggestions, perhaps adding some more descriptive language to the stations could enhance the imagery even further. Additionally, perhaps exploring some of the different experiences or emotions one might have on this train ride could add depth to the metaphor. Overall, though, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem - keep up the great work! more »
