Premium Member The Tin Pan of Woe

The eating of pie before dinner,
It isn’t on point to get thinner.
It’s best to let go
That tin pan of woe,
And be a calorical winner.

A Tin Can’s Lament

There once was a man made of tin,
Whose joints made a horrible din.
“I need oil,” he’d plea,
“Or a heart, possibly,
But rust ruins romance again!”

Cookie Tin Lid Perfect

"Bellows",
bellows the blacksmith
the thatched roof crofter's cottage
so beautiful 
in the cottage garden
the wild pink heather evokes
fond memories of Victoria.

attached with nail, without pain

glowing so happily

Premium Member Tin Man

I’ll be keeping this one rather brief;
my arthritis is causing me grief.
Now I’m not one to coddle,
but Bobcat’s a good model
and grease fittings would provide relief.

Floor Tin Makes Music

Low sound like drum beat
                                          rain falls out side home non stop
                                                   floor tin makes  music

Tin Man

Think I wanna be heartless
So I would stand a chance
So wish I was heartless
Like the Tin Man
Think I wanna be heartless
So I could be that cold
Oh when I am heartless
A sight to behold

Premium Member Sardine

There once was a sleek silvery sardine
Who dreamed of marrying a svelte eel queen
With his heart ever lurching,
Swimming through seaweed searching
In an olive oiled tin, he was last seen.

Premium Member The Tin Man Of Oz

That wicked old witch made me the Tin Man

   Sans a heart, I'm like a rusty tin can

      I creak like a screechy hinge

         Making my many friends cringe

            A spritz of oil keeps me going again

Inside the Hollow Tin Man

what fool 
had ever lived
lock his heart 
inside a shell 
nor nothing to give
thus his soul breaks 
in this crowded world
that bring forth 
the tears of pain
somewhere inside 
rest the heart of
the hollow tin man

tin man

he breaks the window
he hates the trees
he shot the deer
he knows where they hide

he carves
the face of death
on the surface of life

do not be silent
be as loud as you can
he knows where you are
and you may never speak again

'nigh Tin Shining Armor

To Trump's great delight
His parents were white
But just out of spite
Could researchers cite
An African knight
Where DNA might
Age milky white
To make it alright
For Blood-Quantum white
Or would that incite 
A flight or fight plight?

The Tin Men

The tin men
in a fortress of smoke.
Death all around,
hungry for oil.

Their eyes in the storm
divide and cleanse
to be dragged into the mud
once again.

It rumbles on.
One and another,
one ceases, 
one gets stronger.

A rainbow of shoes, 
the broken tin men.

Premium Member I Met A Tin Man

His workshop looked neat.
Unlike many others who prefer dusty feat
His tools are arranged in order.
Within a tool-line with a border
He took one at a time.
And placed back in a manner sublime.
Many novices around him he had
To learn from him, they were glad...

In a simple cabin, deep in the hills Rain sprinkles against a roof of tin Lulling softly, the voice it stills Breathing joy, psalms flow within Your Best Four Line Light Verse Poetry Contest Sponsored by: L MILTON HANKINS August 14, 2021

Premium Member Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

Charlame’ had heard of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
She wanted to be one, thought she would be famous.
She bought herself some movie star glasses.
Sat on the roof for a while. It was not hot here. 
Come on down! Her mother said. 
She ignored her. 
She was waiting for some fans to ask her.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 



 I felt my finger nails digging into his back 
What an intensified sexual moment 
I never knew that tears could roll 
Down the cheeks of a robust man 

he wept! he sigh! he came 
Again, and again and again 
was it a sportsmanship or 
an injury cat on a Hot Tin Roof?

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

In "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," 
I felt my fingernails digging into his back during an intensely charged moment.
 I was surprised to see tears rolling down the cheeks of a strong man—he wept! 
He sighed! He reached his climax, time and again. 
Was it a display of sportsmanship or a sign of injury?

tin pan's corners

i'm whiskey beats outta country
jazz, too classic
old's city in LA
high damn
runnin up you like water
all most hiding skin

lest i grieve through absurd
trist's with confi, daunting

sorry bouts 
runnin up like water's mam

Soldier of Tin

He took apart
his soldier of tin
to see for himself
what lay within
expecting honour, strength
valour and pride
he eagerly toiled
to get inside
with soldier now 
cleaved in two
he saw what he thought 
could not be true
half of his warrior 
now cupped in each hand
he gazed at an emptiness 
he could not understand.

Mr Tin Foil

Mr Tin Foil
He’s a tin foil hat type of guy 
Do you know of those? 
They wear tin foil hats 

To stop the authorities 
From reading their brain waves 
His report says he is a higher thinker 
Or some such turds and that imbeciles 

Think he’s insane due 
To their lack of understanding 
He’s a real fricking lunatic hahahaha
