Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Lineage of Fire

forging
noble timeless art
brute strength and skill
reverence for the forces of fire
innate passion for working metal
precious knowledge passed down the ages
honoring with pride millennia of blacksmith ancestry

M. L. Kiser May 30, 2019 at 4:43 PM Beautiful! Forging is an art that must be preserved. I've watched them work at a few historical parks and it's incredible.

Timothy Mcguire May 28, 2019 at 4:35 PM Love it! I have a forge and an anvil, a FAV for me. Timothy Mcguire May 28, 2019 at 9:16 PM I watch it all the time too :) Line Gauthier May 28, 2019 at 6:13 PM How wonderful. I love the show FORGED IN FIRE - the history behind it, the martial arts element, the whole hands-on approach of forging.

William Kelii Kekaula May 27, 2019 at 10:56 AM Ugh, Gershon beat me to it--he must 've been a Smitty's boy--though you left no room for error of your rendered outline of a forger/smitty Line, Aloha wk Line Gauthier May 27, 2019 at 2:17 PM Thanks, William. Much appreciated.

Gershon Wolf May 26, 2019 at 7:27 PM Written with the same steely strength that's characteristic of its subject: Style and substance blend seamlessly. Beautifully done, Line. Warmest wishes, Gershon Line Gauthier May 26, 2019 at 7:34 PM Thank you so much for your most appreciated visit and compliment, Gershon.

Harry Horsman May 26, 2019 at 5:27 PM The forging of metal is indeed a wonderful skill, and so is the forging of poetry, i've just read one Line Gauthier May 26, 2019 at 6:59 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and compliment, Harry.

CayCay Godwin May 26, 2019 at 2:07 PM Says much, and I agree with the sentiment, the history of knowledge is a 'feel' if but ponder it. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Line Gauthier May 26, 2019 at 3:48 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, CayCay.
