Poem Question: Is there any significance to a train having its headlight on during the day?

I have to write a %26quot;reaction paragraph%26quot; to the poem %26quot;Oh, Oh%26quot; by William Hathaway. Is there any significance to the fact that the train's headlight is on in the middle of a bright summer's day?



Also:

What types of imagery are there? I never really understood how to figure that out in poems.



What is the theme?



Effect? I don't know exactly what my teacher means by that.Poem Question: Is there any significance to a train having its headlight on during the day?Well think about what's odd about a thing like that. The train is symbolic, but of what? Think about the conversation they're having. They talk about the future and their dreams, and they seem pretty sure of themselves. The headlight is redundant. Just give it some more thought, it's not as hard as you think.
