Word-smith

The tedious work of a Smitty, requires:
A coal-fire which must attain a high degree of intense heat.
( In order to achieve this necessary temperature,
One must expend infinite energy pumping the bellows.)
Sluing metal into the correct form,
Demands a precise touch.
(A discrepancy of the slightest magnitude,
Can have unforseen consequences.)
A letter or phrase forged too mailable,
Lessens the sword’s power;
Hammering a blade without subtlety,
Leaves the impression of a blow hard.
