Anvils beat

By kenneth

The roaring flame
The blistering heat
All of this I tame
With my anvils beat
The steel I beat it
To create perfection
I still must shape it
It is my obsession
A wonderful work of art
Soon to be complete
Into this I pour my heart
Still I hear the anvils beat
With a razor edge
Perfectly tempered
I’ve made with my sledge
But still the beat is heard

    I liked it, the piece had a good flow, I work at a train yard so tools and noise is always around me but I haven't had the inspiration like you to write about it. Welcome to DP.

    Hi Kenneth - the last line should rhyme I think? Otherwise technically perfect and very well-stated.
