The challenge: 60 stations on the Tyne and Wear Metro. Write one short poem for each station.

As they are written, on a rolling basis, most of the poems will be debuted at the Open Platform open mic in Whitley Bay, run by Yellow Line Poetry, so come along to hear about my progress.
Poem counter: 6/60
A sample, the very first poem of the bunch:
