Wake from your dreams, go dancing with...

Premium Member An Old Cast Iron Pan
I imagine when you first see it…all you see an old cast-iron pan…you don’t see where it’s been…you only notice the outside…not the history within.

But every time we use it…we handle it affectionately…because when we pick up this old cast-iron pan…that…is exactly what we see.

Some...

Premium Member Soul of Iron
I am a soul of rusty iron within a steel clad heart.
The tears I shed, the blood I've bled keeps me well apart. 
But when a lovely spirit bright with wings of lace and gold, 
lands upon my tarnished frame, my heart with love enfolds.

Premium Member Iron Man
"Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved" - Iron Man (Black Sabbath)

running through the forest of sorrows
running from myself
running from them
created
created in their image
in their likeness
to serve mankind
only to serve
but they have become paranoid

Premium Member I Am Iron Man
It was once said, "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth".
Revenge isn't really sweet, but it is a bit uncouth.
You were fooled by thinking you would win.
In your losing battle, you committed another sin.

It can't be called poetic justice that you...

Premium Member Mom's Old Iron Skillet
The skillet hung near the old wood-burning kitchen stove.
Aside from her family, Mom considered it a special trove.
With that blackened old pan she prepared delicious repasts,
That in my judicious opinion will ne'er be surpassed!

Ah, just to recall the tasty grub stewed up in that old...

I am Iron Man Seven/Eleven.
How's it feel to have arms of steel? 
A cast iron head, and a rock hard bed.
I am ready to go to sleep right now.

It's Iron Bowl Time In Alabama
It’s Iron Bowl Time in Alabama

By Elton Camp

Watching football may be okay

Even following it, play-by-play 

However, I say, “Ho, hum”

Don’t care about the outcome

For I will use my time another way



(For readers outside Alabama, this refers to the extreme fanaticism so often seen here about...

How To Build Up An Iron Stomach By Jenn Shelton
I kept no watch nor waited for them to produce 
For I am the hunter because I’ve learned once 
Once 
From being the hunted 

From being the hunted 
the clown 
the object of fascination 

I kept no watch 
only contentment in my heart 
Compassion at...

A tough four-star general was this man called Curtis LeMay

      He always had a big cigar stuck in his face and he never smiled

Premium Member My Iron Lung, My Iron Love
Descending down the spiral steps to hell;
Acquiesced charcoal in phosphorous glow.

As if enchained by an enchantress’ spell;

Into the flames do I merrily go:

Endeared, the Master speaks ill of my worth
Before softened lips move closer t’wards I;
Lavender fragrance plumes lavishly forth -
My lungs become gills…her perfume...
