Iron Sharpens Iron Poem by Bill Grace

Iron Sharpens Iron

Rating: 4.0


The problem with a society
where steel sharpens iron
are the sparks
for those not wearing
safety glasses.

Bill, I like this. Technically, you might say the problem…IS the sparks, but that doesn't sound right. This pithy, intense little analogy works well. Chaucer had a good one about iron: If gold rusts, / what will iron do? If you'd like, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Let me know how you like it. Yrs, JC
