One Minute Ramble: Rust


Creaking, flaky, eroded and weathered;
Are terms I thought wouldn’t describe me, ever
Although creaking maybe… more likely flaky…
Hardly partly somewhat eroded…
And slightly weathered, maybe
But not me.
Now.
Not me, now.

I’ve just compared myself to rust
And in the same breath didn’t.

Just

    Copper artwork is still part of my business … love the rusted patina of it. I do hope my bones rust in that type of way. But much, much later. 😉

    Lovely, lovely, the poetry. There is power in the verse, or in the ‘verse as my hero Captain Reynolds says. Funny how I read this after I wrote something about not being old, even though you actually beat me to it.

      That happens to me quite a lot, Beth… I write something, and then find that someone else in my blogging circle have written about the same thing! I love coincidences.
