I absolutely love this! Personally I find the creativeness sublime. What talent to take a little can that has sat in so many lives and give it voice. The can that has held the quill of the poet who with never a thought to this faitful conveyance spills the blood of their heart across paper then callously drops the spent scribe int it.

Ah the little tin can! I just love this!

[David Scott]

The poem felt like a lament of being used for less than you could have been. A sense of devaluation. Yet, a look back wistfully remembering your place in everything and everything that was placed in you. Could be way off base, but I enjoyed my own delusional trip into this poem. After all, some of us a just the flowers wilting in your tin can... :-)

[Everett DeValle]

Playfully delicious poem. :)

Enjoyed the lovely poem.
Enjoyed the amazing reviews too.
But,it reminded me of Tin Drum,the novel of Günter Grass and the film based on the novel.It is just for the coincidence of the word 'Tin' and nothing else.
The poem reminded the film which I watched long ago.
Digging through YouTube,I found a segment to share with you.
Hope you will like it.
This is for the amazing poem of Muse.

ha ha ha...loved that video..Thanks for sharing. :))) Quite the trouble maker he is! The scream...ugh my kids do that too!

Thank you Muse for appreciating it.
You may not appreciate the other aspects if you read the whole story
and watch the full film.
You can watch some other segments from YouTube and get an idea of
the trouble maker kid from the following link.

However,the novel and its film may provide you a wonderful experience.
Please try to access them.
Thanks for your lovely gesture.

he's autistic...and artistic. Misunderstood perhaps...I have not seen the film...so that would be my guess without watching it. But it definitely looks like a movie and book worth checking out.

[zainul]

Please check it out and try to watch the film.
You have the right talent to deal with them.read morePlease check it out and try to watch the film.

Yea,he may be autistic at the whim of its creator Günter Grass.
I will wait for feed back.
Thanks again,my friend.

really fun and witty read. THe presentation is creatively brilliant specially the font.
entertainingly fun yet the sad tone is evident like I yesterdays mail. Great work!

I love this .. esp the Left Handed Scissors bit ! Sometimes I feel a bit like a pair of left handed scissors. Nice to know there is always a place to hang out.

There is great verve and life in this little poem.

[Samuel Dickens]

Thank God for tin cans. If not for those, I'd have no idea where to put all my good stuff. (You know--"Land of the Lost" ticket stubs, homemade guitar picks, etc)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Short and fun and full of flowing child like play, teasing and moving like a kids game through the playground.

[Audrey Howitt]

And tender and sweet--so evocative --
