This work has reached the exceptional level

A poetic story. A child's imagination. Imagining riding on a candy train where Hershey's kisses, almond joy, ice cream is there for the taking. A garden that is made of cake " Twinkies in their beds" Riders traveling into a world that only a child would want full time. The story is filled with many images that would be fun and exciting. The setup prepares you what this person believes is good food.

All in all, I would say that this is a good poem. It has a very sophisticated, elegant style and has a sort of polished finish that I like. However, I see a couple of main problems, and just a couple of nit-picky things.
1. The way you worded it makes the scene hard to picture, because one has to concentrate in order to comprehend the poem. This is just me, but I believe that one needs to picture it, because seeing is feeling, and feeling is what every good work has to have.
2. Paragraph 11 doesn't make much sense. It is hard to sort through to find the meaning you are trying to convey.
Other than that, the only things I see are the following:
1. "Liquid fluid" is redundant.
2. In the sentence, "train weirdly advancing into bend" the word "weirdly" seems odd to me. But if you like it, keep it like it is, by all means. It's your poem, and there will always be someone who doesn't like it, no matter what.

I think perhaps you may be translating from another program. The sentences make no sense. I also did not read anything that was related to the title, 'All Aboard'. Hopefully this review helps. Sometimes when I go from a saved piece on another program it doesn't translate well onto FS.

Very well done. Interesting how you describe many of the items and events in goodies to eat: almond joy soup and ice cream. You have a unique way with words. Fun piece to read.
I didn't find any errors.
Thanks for sharing.

If the category wasn't sci-fi and creation, I would have mistaken the prose as other than as described. Very descriptive, but the arrival of this particular train with passengers other than the observer begs the question as to whether the observer had already ridden the train. Or was the description an expectation of ecstasy?

Maybe I'm not looking deep enough. I'd have to read it a few more times to really get to that point, if it exists. But the satisfaction of the journey is in the effort, not necessarily the destination, just as the writer fully describes. A nice piece for the thinking reader.

    Yeah getting this smooth ride has challenges too many jerks, I.believe a shorter cut might accelerate the effect. Thanking you for generous rate and inspiring thoughts.

This is a great long poem about dreaming about food. You can tell the author has a sweet tooth. I liked the way the lines kind of fed into one another, going from one sweet to another, and leading to the ending with "We are next to seat". It seemed like a poem that a starving person would write, so maybe the author is on a diet?
