The Clay on The Wheel
February 19, 2011
It slips smoothly
Through my fingers
Milk chocolate beauty
I hold it firmly
It stays
I loosen
My grip
And away
It goes
It is grace
It is life
That I shape
Just as the gods
Shaped me
Flames
Flames bring it
Into being
And when it cools
It is ready
For color

It's about wheel throwing, which is a type of pottery. The bit about the gods is just me drawing a little from mythology. Lots of cultures thought the gods made people from mud or clay.

I love your style of writing, but I didn't really understand the poem. (maybe it's just me)

I do love pottery. It's the sort of thing where the world seems to shrink and shrink until there's only the clay, the wheel, and my hands.
