The Laughing Blacksmith!

Down in a small workshop
amongst the clashing sounds
of hammer on an anvil
a wondrous creator abounds

heat of the forge makes him smile
watching the metal turn red
chuckling as he goes
ideas mulling around his head

rhythmic hits upon anvil
as metal shapes start to form
humming to the music
for the action keeps him warm!

as his work continues
items become more recognizable
beautiful to the eye
creations so desirable

never underestimate such craft
each finished item is unique
for our laughing Blacksmith
is shrouded in total mystique
