cold iron

Written for:  The Twiglets #116 – “like cold iron”

She lay down next to him;
his arm felt like cold iron.

Sky was a sheet
of cold iron winter
before the storms began.

Winter, for a child,
is frosty fun. One
of our games was
iron tag.

A giant from Cold Mountain City
loved a girl who read him a litany:
You’re too tall, not handsome,
poor, and can’t dance none.
Giant cried and rusted, never trust a girl from Town Without Pity.
