Premium Member Campsite Breakfast

“Wake up, breakfast is cooking.”
Bacon in cast iron skillet,
sounds and smells, wafted through the tent.
“Coming”, the crackling bacon got me!

Premium Member Dutch Oven

There's my cast iron Dutch oven pot,
Sitting on the counter, still dirty.
Word is, "Don't wash", or it will rust rot.
Old fat increases its purity.

Stolen

A withered hand,his body frail 

Where once formidable strength

had been,

He still had a cast iron will,

but there was so much 

that stroke had stolen

My Heart Is a Bell

There is a holy man with
A heart like a bell
That rings out loud
Through the air,
Like a ship with a sail
Made of cast iron and steel
Listen to the sound everywhere
Lord, my heart is a bell

Premium Member Iron Man Seven-Eleven

I am Iron Man Seven/Eleven.
How's it feel to have arms of steel? 
A cast iron head, and a rock hard bed.
I am ready to go to sleep right now.
Nighty-Night....

Premium Member Christmas

cast iron monster
belching smoke and steam
small hands enfolded 

framed beneath
glassine perfection 
quietly staring 

strange world streams by 
silent but for noise
engine screams

arrival ahead
grandparents standing in snow
Christmas awaits

Premium Member Mountaintop Cookout

To Huskey we go, a cookout for dinner,
With six grandchildren, a definite winner.
The evening cool, the fire pit hot,
Some soup heating up in a cast-iron pot.
Seems life’s pretty sweet here in Lacey’s Spring;
Lottery? Nah, I’ve done won the whole thing.

Makin' Mem'Ries

There’s nothing quite like The smell of a cast iron Wood fired cook stove On a chill Kentucky morning Brewed coffee, platter of eggs Pork chops and bacon Hint of wood smoke scent And ashes…Rosin and Pine And a wee lad to savor these …Future memories of mine…

Premium Member Poppies Laugh Louder In a Wet Garden

Furnances, cast-iron, will wrought a deadly terrain;
The mulling of our spirit has
Juggled words of gods out of our mouths
While we hide like moths, 
Thus life begins an affair with a new universe
Where furnances are allowed 
To crawl the garden grounds 
as our hearts watch
Aflame with plummage.

Premium Member Christmas Eve

CHRISTMAS EVE

Midnight bells
Now close
Now far
They quake the old boards
Shivering up the steeple
Cast iron
Fired to last three thousand years
Drone ‘cross a sleeping countryside
Bells!
Bells!
Brother Johning round the Moon
And    on the moment    dark windows
Light-up!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Winter On Astor Street

Winter on Astor Street
 
                  The Gold Coast, Chicago
 
Beneath the canopy,
a doorman holds
a cast-iron door that lets
 
an ancient duchess issue.
Swathed in a silver gown
she tugs her sable cape
 
tight around a tumor
that nice young doctor 
will announce tomorrow.

Premium Member barter for the bellmaker

barter for the bellmaker 
fire the forge, fill the flue
cast cast-iron chimes 
chime for time's renew 

fire the forge, fend the flash
fan the flames, feed the fire 
cast cast-iron cauldrons 
cast a spell, catch desire 

bitter for the bellmaker 
fires the forge, fans the same
casts cast-iron tears
cannot catch desire's flame

Judgment Day

There will come a cast iron rain
in brown paper sackfuls
carried by frail, dark men
who never share your eye.

And when that day comes,
the skies will tremble,
smiling into hairline cracks
at the seams, awaiting
the drum of an enormous
wooden spoon, old
as Grandfather Mountain
and nimble as time
leaping like a cut-glass trout
in your still, hazel stream.

Bacon - Yum Yum

Quickly the hikers rest with a freshly built                         ----------CAMPFIRE 
One of them flips out his ancient cast iron                         -------- PAN
Soon, fresh smells permeate the woods, something is       --------- FRYING
Having trekked and snacked on dates and raisins, so        ---------- TASTY

Squinting To Memories

I squint  just right
And capture a memory almost forgotten
Jars of fruit and honey fresh from hives
Filling shelves in old smokehouse
Home-made butter and molasses
In her kitchen
Waiting to smother
Biscuits warming
On black cast iron wood-stove
Boxes of buttons
An old cameo
Split wood in corner
Old sleepy dog on porch
The house on the hill
Where Mom's Granny rocked

Premium Member Life Goes On

life goes on

cool as an angels kiss
requires a crackling fire
moderator of my world
held in a cast iron stove.

first admission that seasons
are fickle, change inevitable,
rolling on through time 
never quite the same.

gazing out through sheltering glass
my mind touches all that is familiar
trees, garden of drowsy flowers
up the path to the red door.

wherein I wait for…

Premium Member Heavy Metal

When the setting sun settles
Upon the weeping western skies
That's when I earn my medals
Hearth fires from smoldering eyes

Crystalline orbs glow like rare art
Gemstones shine light on my eyes
Mining ore from cast-iron heart
Molten metal melts the skies

Smelting, my weeping western eyes
Gemstones spark life in my heart
Heavy metal forged from her skies
Casts raw iron into art

Premium Member Staring Into My Cast Iron Cauldron

Soil with sabrino, boil with babinoes white
Fire of witches, fire with switches bright
I gaze into your depths, feeling amazingly light
Wondering what dish you will bring me tonight

Soil with sabrino, boil with babinoes red
Fire of the ghouls, the ghosts, the goblins and the dead.
My mind concentrates on the powers you have over me.
I am ready to join you in the black cavern under the sea.

Punishing a Defaulting Unionist

Loosen now his tight valves.
You do nothing by halves 
Not like you've bruised his calves
While he's not got what salves...

His tube deflate through valve:
With six-inch nail hit valve,
The air in tube to halve;
When cops into it delve,
Say "A case of mad valve!"

Ask me my opinion:
It's a heart cast- iron:
A daring to pinion
The arms of one's union,
Dues slicing like onion
In Crowned Lion's Union.

Premium Member A Call

I am blaming it on weather
Feel a bit too old today
Sky is pale, the clouds gather
In cyclonic disarray 
Clouds may tell about something
I’d prefer to stay untold
Before scattering to nothing
They hang over the old road
That goes down to the quay
With its bollards of cast iron
Not a single boat I see
Seagulls overhead keep crying
Why I’m here again, could be
Just a call I answer to  
By inertia, thoughtlessly
Like an animal can do.

My Meat

Last night,
You beat my meat and blow my mind
Later, you overwhelm me
With every single grind.
Cranking and cranking
Untill my hunger roars.

When you turn around in that apron
I adore your every curve.
I like it hot and juicy
Alittle pink in the middle.

I can't wait to see that steak
Hit that hot cast iron skillet.

Put some onions on that steak
Perhaps a few mushrooms too.

Girl, you know I love your cooking
But I love my desserts too.
