The Love Sonnets Of A Car Conductor is a collection of sonnets written by the American poet and journalist, Wallace Irwin. The sonnets are centered around the theme of love, and are written from the perspective of a car conductor. The conductor is depicted as a romantic figure, who observes the world around him and reflects on his own experiences of love and longing. The sonnets are written in a traditional form, with fourteen lines and a rhyme scheme, and are characterized by their lyrical and emotive language. The collection was first published in 1908 and has since become a classic of American poetry, admired for its evocative portrayal of love and its celebration of the human spirit.My Trolley hikes to Harlem p.d.q., And picks up pikers all along the beat. At six o'clock the aisles are full of feet, The straps with fingers, and the entire zoo Boils on the platform with a mad huroo Reckless as Bronx mosquitoes after meat.
