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!

"So raise your hands if you're all wrong in the right ways..." That Pink song filled my head reading this. By the way Iam raising both hands with pride.

I did enjoy this fun poem.

Absolutely brilliant. I loved that it is so simple, sing-songy, but heavy with emotion, and thoughtfully written out. Great imagery as well!

I enjoyed reading this poem because it sounded like it was written from an experienced, knowledgable, well-versed writer. Which is who you truly are. This poem was not pretentious, written carefully, and picked and crafted well-thought phrases meticulously. There was not cliches remnant in your poem. Also, every item you listed seemed original yet familiar. The poem had the well-known smell of nostalgia. The scent of adventure, wonder, and innocence that comes with childhood. That’s how I read it. The poem also has a vague yet beautifully crafted conclusion. What does the mint flower represent. I don’t know but that is up to the reader! It was truely a beautiful poem that I would not be surprised to see in my poetry anthology book. I’m very impressed. Great job, this was fantastic. I have so much to learn. All my poems combined pale in comparison to this simple yet intricate poem.

It is a pretty fun little ditty. The font is pretty cool, I can't say that I have ever seen it on here before. It almost looks like lines from a pencil. The poem reminds me of another poem called "To be of Use" by Marge Piercy
