I would like to make a challenge to all in the same way bsquirrel did some time ago. You can write however you like, but the poem must contain the line: A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands If you're not yourself, then there is no you. |

I'll pick up your gauntlet, Sir. MoonShadow "A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands." You think you’ve got it bad, you say. Just change your view and look this way. There are some blessed and some are not, yet all make do with what they’ve got. He knows whatever can go wrong, Will come to him before too long. He tries to cope with life’s demands, a blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands. . |

A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands Should never shoe a horse A politician with a heart Should never run of course But who set the limits on these lives Who said it’s better to stand tall? Who said we can’t embrace those things That make us different after all? *** Interesting line...I would love to see more of these challenges.  |

I am impressed. I wasn't expecting anyone to take this one so soon. I so enjoyed reading these. I will also enjoy writing my own poem for this one. It may take me a minute or two to think of the lines to accompany this one. It is a rather interesting one for sure. Thanks for your wonderful writes!! My child's smile tells me there's still hope |

callings path taken, his expression shaken shattering glass hands breaking over whims thought the smoke doesnt rise, and the metal lays still all on a whim his art forgotten, bought smoky black robes whistled by calling his name and his troubles, the working mans art they offered him solace a way home in the dark all he had to do was give up his heart he made the agreement signed the dotted line the last time he would use his hands though he knew it not the last letter written his hands shaking and cold beginning to harden a painful debut of gold a blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands his life forever ruined on a whim finding solace he sold his art the black clad figure having mistaken it for his heart Hope this is what you wanted "No one now dies of fatal truths, there are to many antidotes to them."- Nietzche |

As a broken ship, Not to explore the distant lands. A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands A person coping with fate's demands. Never to work the steel again, But he wrote of his fate, The answer is, Just pick up the pen. |

Cecil Taylor plays piano like A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands. He’s awful as a soloist And even worse with bands. It’s only jazz, and in the end It probably doesn’t matter, But when porcelain meets ivory It's my ears that shatter! |

“A Blacksmith cursed with Porcelain hands” (challenge) There’s truly nothing sadder Than this story I will tell Of the poorest man I’ve met A ways off by a well He has a name- unknown to me This poor wayfaring man The only thing I know of him Is the character of his hands The blackest rim of grime I saw Ringed his fingers round A blacksmith cursed with porcelain hands Mistakes he makes confound The saddest look upon his face Had caught me in one glance I saw this soul and now I know He hasn’t got a chance "I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so." |
