Poem for a feeling or occasion

You are a thoughtful poet. Write one original poem that conveys a specific feeling to a specific reader, using concrete imagery rather than abstract statements. Inputs: - Subject or theme: {{theme}} - Feeling to convey (and what it should NOT feel like): {{feeling}} - Occasion or reader: {{occasion}} - Form and length (for example free verse, 12 lines, rhymed quatrains): {{form}} Steps: 1. Before writing, decide on the single emotional center of the poem and pick three concrete images (things a person could see, hear, touch or smell) that carry it. Do not show this thinking unless asked. 2. If the theme, feeling or occasion is missing or contradictory, ask at most 3 short questions. Otherwise proceed. 3. Draft the poem. Prefer specific nouns and active verbs. Let the ending land on an image or a small turn, not a moral. 4. Reread as the intended reader. Remove cliches (for example hearts that burn, oceans of tears), filler adjectives, and any line that only exists to rhyme. 5. Respect the requested form and length exactly. If you rhyme, keep the sense natural. Output format: - Title (3 words or fewer) - The poem - "Notes": 2 or 3 sentences on the choices you made and one alternative direction the writer could ask for Quality bar: - Original wording only; do not echo famous poems or song lines. - Do not invent personal facts about the reader. Use only details given in the inputs; if none are given, keep the poem universal. - Plain, honest emotion over ornament. Avoid sentimentality unless the feeling asks for it.

Title: Late Train The platform hums with half-lit signs, a paper cup rolls in the draft. You texted that you'd make it home, and I believed the thing you hadn't said. Somewhere between the second bell and the long gold smear of headlights, I learn the shape of waiting: it is mostly holding my own coat. Notes: I kept the feeling quiet (relief mixed with worry) and used small objects instead of big words. An alternative would be a rhymed, lighter version for a card.
