The Web Poetry Corner - Ed Hanson - Beating Steel

Beating Steel

by

Ed Hanson

Coal fire coke forge
Bellows roar the flame rising
Hot fumes sulfur smoking
Iron bar red, then yellow-white
See what it wants to be
Bristling sparks burning steel
Held lovingly in steel fingers grip
The hammer rings steel on steel on steel
In steady rhythm strokes banging
Shaping, thinning, stretching, turning
Iron stock meets anvil by
Hammer strokes molding into shape
Heavy hard to finer touch
Carefully crafted quenched

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Miss
