Bronze Beauty

Rusted and Busted Contest
Sponsor: Casarah Nance

BRONZE BEAUTY


Blighted inside the eyes of the ones who are blind
Rusted and marred but remarkable in my mind
Obliterated beyond repair, but extreme charm I find
No one can see the potential I see while inclined
Zesty and raggedy with a strange history behind
Exhausted vehicle holding such elegance refined



Bronzed full of memoirs from accounts of transportation
Embarked on a journey since the original assimilation
A standard modern example of weathered oxidation
Utterly surprised from the ol’ days of junkyard compilation
Throughout time scraps become an art of the generation
Yard-fills of old automobiles carry exquisite rustication

I love the beauty in this, I am fascinated with junkyards, it is art. and your lines like "A standard modern example of weathered oxidation" and of course the ending... "exquisite rustication " this drove right up on my winners list... Congrats! ;)
