I'm just a tin can

I'm just a tin can

A Poem by Muse



























I'm just a tin can.
I'm telling you....
it was not part of my plan.
Tobacco chew,
with gum from your shoe,
caterpillars,
pencils,
left-handed scissors,
snails,
nails,
and yesterdays mail,
car keys,
bees,
the sand and the breeze,
mushy pears,
chocolate eclair,
now I hold a mint flower;
once placed in your hair.

I absolutely love this! Personally I find the creativeness sublime. What talent to take a little can that has sat in so many lives and give it voice. The can that has held the quill of the poet who with never a thought to this faitful conveyance spills the blood of their heart across paper then callously drops the spent scribe int it.

Ah the little tin can! I just love this!

Cool poem, the last two lines are the best part in my opinion.

"In a world where cans come to life...rated R..."
In all seriousness, I liked this. It was clever and light-hearted; kind of like a Disney/Pixar movie, without the asinine celebrity voice-actors (or the $150 million budget).
Also, it reminds me of an old coffee can that a friend of mine once filled with homemade napalm. I miss being fifteen...

Who knew a rusty old tin can could inspire such creativity! I think I might plant a flower in that old can.

This is a nice take on the tin can. You gave it a personality and a different story every time it introduced a new object. :) I quite like it.

read this again and still think the best thing since an apple corer, peeler and slicer
Every day objects we take for granted to throw away can provide much beauty and heart. Like the can...might be a clever metaphor or maybe I am reading too much into it, but anyways great poem

Wonderful! Such a cleverness of lines, of thoughts, of art in more than one form. This is how it is, too .. the small almost invisible this and that, part of a person's collection of rubbed-off items and happenings.. how it is, taking on the minor bits and pieces
