Il miglior fabbro

I barely saw it mentioned this year, but today was National Poetry Day. The theme for this year was "The Future", but I'm going to ignore that and instead just allow myself to be reminded to "post a poem" as per recent trend on LiveJournal (at least two with one stone: Janet needs another 'meme' like she needs her arm broken by a swan).

I'm posting these without further commentary because they speak for themselves; there's nothing that the clumsy prose pastiches or (at best) homages that I would construct could add.
