When Squirrel and Molten Iron Meet

When Squirrel And Molten Iron Meet

Iron melts releasing angry ores 
Molten *liquifications flow blood red below
Disgruntled veins twist beneath the Earth
Deranged rivers on volcanic burst
Squirrel jumps at this opportunity
Mimics strange metallic sounds
Melting squeaks cannot be heard above the tumult  
Wire haired creature sweats, filled with fear 
By the banks of hell and heat before retreating
Smart enough to leave such dangerous elements
There are no acorns to be found along the lava flow
Trees burn and so do living things in irons agony alone


Note:  (* I invented the word liquification for your reading pleasure and entertainment.)
