I got fairly carried away after my Steampunk binges after finding the Brass Goggles blog and all the lovely sites that branched out from that most glorious of hubs, this led to coffee fuelled rent-a-poem activity…

Steampunk Lovers

I love cogs and I love goggles,
I love gears and antique peddles.
Show me gloves and golden watches,
Residue, flame and adventurous swatches.

Give me a style we near forgot,
Apply it to now, a hybrid begot.
Harness the light, the kinetics and steam,
Paint for us now, a Victorian Gleam.

For inventor’s beauty should never die
And old industry be left to lie,
While Gentlefolk like you and I
Hold wit and passion to make it fly!
