The Wordsmith

In my cranial crucible
I collect and mix, mix
Mangled metaphors,
Scrapped similies,
Rusty rhetoric,
Severed speech,
And once molten,
I let the liquid
Language pour,
Pour into my
Mouth-mould
And forge, forge

Brass banter

Copper clerihews

Enamelled epiphets

Silver spiel

Platinum prose

Gold gerunds


Words are my mettle,

I am a wordsmith.
