Poor Iron Will

In this verse, Elsy takes an example of a little speck of iron that could not escape the attraction of a Big Magnet. Here’s an evocative love poem, in Different Truths.

The little speck of iron,
which always dwelt serene,
was gliding real smooth
in its own safe orbit.

Then came the Big Magnet
with a bang, causing pang,
scooping up the li’l speck
in one quick step.

How can the iron will
of a teeny iron piece
combat the meaty might
of a mega magnet?
