Her poetry is
the way she throws it
on the wheel.

Her art lies
in the center ring.

Her hands hold a spinning
universe of possibilities,
pulling a handle here,
a spout there.

See how well she works with
fragile
light
encrusted clay.

She paints the surface
and then
glosses over it.

Glazing the sentiment
forever,
as if to say,
"I am not transparent."

killed my Buddha, killed my Christ
Killed my karma, paid the price

For 27 years I've carried the welt
Wie kleine ist deinige Welt?

How many female poets will flock to this, thinking "yes, this poet knows me! Likes me! Sees me!"

Oh, this shall be favored, indeed!

Ooooooh, I'm still working in the dark shadow of that one, but you're shining in her sun.

Anson~
This is marvelously done.

~I am but the potter's clay
Wheeled by circumstance of this day
Spun of amaze
Glazed with desire
Kilned with blazing of inspire~

Thanks for the mini-inspiration !

Welcome to Passions, Anson!

This is a wonderful piece, written with a tender, appreciative eye.

Like the use of the artistic metaphor, too.

The stanza that jumps out at me:

See how well she works with
fragile
light
encrusted clay.

Very well written writing. Loved the way you put the words together to draw the reader in. *s* Welcome to passions.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
