Rusting in the rain
Until you found me

Just a tin man
Burning in the sun
Having not a bit of fun

The heart of gold you have given me
Will forever remember thee

Just A Tin Man

Topic: oops

I was just a tin man
Rusting in the rain
Until you found me
And gave me new acclaim
Just a tin man
Burning in the sun
Having not a bit of fun
Until you found me
If you shall ever go
I want you to always know
The heart of gold you have given me
Will forever remember thee

Aww...touching and romantic. I can picture you standing in the rain! The last line ties it up with a bow!
I love where your poetry writing is going, James. This is lovely.

so the first
wizard was
sewn on a
cart,
just a collection
of things
that might
easily be
found,
good things,
possibly,
usable,
possibilities,
prior to
the great
depression,
a few decades
after the civil
war,

film, like
an almost
real

in 1910
when my grandfather
was only fifteen,

tin, pan, alley,
Frank Baum

putting cheap music
into a play, out of nothing

out of nothing

and your last verse,
"the heart of gold you have
given me,
Will forever remember me",

the wizard, some old guy,
whose voice sounded genuine
to the young, somehow

that they might listen too,
whether it be 1400, or 1492,
or 1910, or 2018,
Giovanni Boccaccio wrote:
"Beside the fountain in a little grove
That fresh green fronds and pretty flowers did grace
Three maidens sat and methinks of love.
Mid golden locks, o/'/ershadowing each sweet face,
For coolness was entwined a leaf-green spray,
And all the while a gentle zephyr played
Through green and golden in a tender way,
Weaving a web of sunshine and of shade"

which pretty much sounds like an old guy
like yourself writing a poem.

oh man, that Giovanni could write.
He/'/d make a tin man smile without
a sprinkle from the oil can
copy write WD-40, stolen from the archives
no less.

Peace!
