Tanka 136
A box of letters
Cast steel ready to be struck
Stacked sheets of copper
Cut and set to be impressed
The hammer as matchmaker

Police sketch artist:
Thin lips but so expressive
speak from the paper

I like that idea of the hammer being the catalyst for the meeting of the steel letters and the copper. The police sketch artist poem made me smile because, not long ago, I wasted some time in a waiting room giggling at truly terrible police sketches. Some crimes appear to have been committed by a potato with janky teeth.
The hammer has everything to say how this task works out, that is for sure. And criminals, with your project, you’ll be an expert!
