Tin ManA Poem by CrimsonHints
There's rust in his marrow eating his bones;
The clinking and clanking of metal all grown. A copper conundrum sits upon his skull. His eyes are silver, metallic and dull. Two-pistoled Tin Man wearing two feathers; Red-dusted rawhide and beaten down leathers. Red coil for muscles twisting past gears; An aluminium Stetson sits above cold ears. Steam-powered cowboy collecting fine dust; Golden cigars made with black nicotine trust. Bronze-booted puppet adorned with bronze bullets; Tight-jointed trigger finger, can't seem to pull it. But his teeth are pearls and his heart's made of jade; Of metal our Tin Man's not completely made. © 2017 CrimsonHints |
