Struggling like a blacksmith to hone and shape

Clem
When Clem finally made it into town
Leading his horse and swearing
The townfolk looked at him askance
But, Clem totally wasn't caring
He had walked the last five miles
His horse had thrown a shoe
Walking wasn't his favorite sport
But,...

Reducing a people you didn't create,
Solution is your cunning bait
But your weapon is...

Wordsmith
He's a stable smithy
Thinks his genius words are pithy
As he pounds, pounds, pounds
Into the night
Swings his big word-hammer
Never minding lies and grammar
Cuz he's gotta, gotta, gotta
Fuel the fight
With his bellowslike ire
He stokes the fire
As it...

Jester of Broken Hearts

Morals corrupt with ebon thoughts,
A dance mockery to my own humanity,
What makes me the torrent vestige imposed upon today’s populace,
A self imposed victim...

Word Smith
A smithy peers into a white hot
Ingot formed square
Seeing the idea of a meaning
Form there
How many turns at the anvil
How many soakings
In the heat
Long sweating hours hammering
Out her beat
The shape of the curve
Coaxed, twisted
Unnerve
Rough forged
Dimpled...

EVENING

Darkness clothes the weary sky
Birdsong awaits the daybreak
And rest descends on all
The battering hammer of the smithy
The barking blade of the lumberyard
Have led their surefooted dance
Of sparks and spelks in...

The Smithy
The smithy’s feelings ran amuck
His work began to show it
He did the best he could
To realize the storm
He’d bash each piece one extra time
And revel in the steam
His hammer swift as lightning
Like falling in a...

The Smithy
The “Smithy”
Written: By Tom Wright
4/28/04
The anvil’s peal breaches the mid day air,
and his four pound hammer fettles the shoe.
At the forge’s cinders in thought I stare,
and listen to the wheezing bellows spew.
The portrait of a...

Take it to the jester
He'll figure out the gist
Take it to the smithy
He'll bash it out for you

Take it home to Liza
She'll send you to the zoo
