  4. The girl was ordered into the laundry room. Her step-mother insisted she iron her outfit even though just a minute before the step-mother had been yelling at her for not being ready. How was she supposed to get ready if she had to iron someone else’s cloths. The rest of her day had been just as bad. As she walked in she bumped the ironing table. The iron wobbled and fell onto the carpeting. Melting the material and leaving a mark.

  5. His arms were like iron. Unbending, unyielding. They crossed in front of her face, blocking the path so she couldn’t go any further. She started at the arm so she wouldn’t have to look at his face, because she knew that she wouldn’t like what she had to see in his face.

  10. My feet feel like they are wearing iron boots, I am so tired today. Actually, maybe Im a little anemic. I should check my iron. Why do the crazy times always seem to come at one time? Every minor disaster possible; the kids and husband sick, ate something bad for dinner,daughter has a dental emergency…All on a Monday. Mondays should be made of iron. Mondays probably are made of iron because they are damn hard!

  11. She held the iron pot in her hand. So old, it still shined under the florescent light. Her mother, with all her love and sadness, would make such bittersweet food from this. The salt seemed to skim the surface of her soups, bring the flavors out of her chicken. She couldn’t help but love her mother’s food, but always remind her that sorrow was at the base of her mother’s talent.

  16. I glared at it and lifted the golf club. I had no idea the name or the brand or if it was even a real 9-iron, but it gasped and fell to the floor. “No, please!” It cried. “Not the golf club, take anything else, but leave the golf club alone!” I stared at it, stupefied. How much could this thing be worth? Shrugging, I threw it out the window and the thing cried “Nooo!”

  19. It was in the late day, the day’s when the men wore the skins of the animals killed on great hunts, that the falling of the day would bring such great pains.

  22. It is used to release wrinkles from clothes using heat. Metal on the bottom. Also uses steam to get rid of wrinkles. It is also an element within the earth used in many appliances and everyday items. The core of the Earth contains a good amount of iron.

  23. ironic. iron. love like it’s the last day, because sometimes that’s all you get. It’s all you’ll ever get. And isn’t it ironic? Isn’t life meant to be lived to the fullest? Except, of course, in those moment when you realize that you don’t want to risk being silly, or something like that.

  24. He lay in the black dirt at the foot of the volcano. Covered in ash, he felt defeat in him, he would never be among the greats who reached for the skies, weighed down in by his iron mail. Submitting to the weakness in him, he felt a surge of lightness, of acceptance of fate. The very moment he thought of as failure would redeem him, as fate had plans for him he yet knew not. The volcano erupted… The blackness and the heat engulfed him, he knew not what was happening, he knew not if this was death… As the madness and violence of nature died down, there from the cooling earth he rose reborn in steel, reaching for higher ground. From the bottom, there is only one way out. Up.

  26. Iron-fisted, iron-willed. I have the will, but it’s rusting. Rusting in the grip of an iron-fist, a weight around my dreams. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Or is there? An iron will can rust, crumble into splinters that lodge in the heart as poison. Can break down into vile toxins that kill. But an iron fist will never break. Clamped, clenched, immovable as Fate’s rule.

  27. Iron coloured skies seem to reflect my mood today.

  28. it’s cast in the heat of hell,
    molten like lava drooling
    alongside mountains
    and abandoned third-world villages.
    it’s hardened,
    like a spirit
    of someone who’s
    taken his licks.

  29. Iron. Strike while it’s hot. Even out the wrinkles. Sort things through and straighten them out. All strong euphemisms for a strong element. Elementary.

  30. iron is strong yet delicate enough to displace even the smallest wrinkle. Even on days where its cold or raining iron holds strong. Even in old age iron does not give. Iron is hot and cold at the same time.

  31. The metal glows orange near the fire, absorbing the heat from the flames that lick the wood, sparking green from the sea salt still coating the bark. Old, wrinkled hands reach out and grip the handle, wrapped in a stained gray cloth, and bring it away from the fire to cool slightly before passing over thick woolen pants.

  32. I am going to have a will of iron as I make this transition from my sacred office space and art studio back home. I am going to create wonderful spaces at home, get rid of lots of things, remember that simplicity is going to be my salvation, and that change can be a catalyst for growth and wisdom — also blessings. Hooray!

  35. “Oh, the irony.” Sheila sighed, scooping her toddler up. “A man who hates to run can dash off from his family like that!” She snapped her fingers, barely managing a smile as her baby giggled. Ignoring looks from other mothers, she proudly headed towards the stairs.

  37. iron me so that i may be flat. take out all the wrinkles so that i may be presentable to bosses and parents. heat me so that i resist entropy and my atoms are disciplined into the order that they despise.

  38. I always pondered the materials inside of iron. Like my dad always said, there’s iron to be found in everybody; a certain strongness and passion that nobody can deterr from a person.

  40. The iron industry isn’t something you want to mess with, or so I’ve heard. BNut what do I know? I;m just the son of a guy who works in coal mines, trying to make a living. It’s sad, you know, when he comes home and he’s covered in filth. He’s always tired, with bags under his eyes, looking cold and lonely on the inside. It makes me feel like I should be working there instead of him!
