Star Dust

I promised to formulate a poem of beauty and joy Out of this clay filled box... But all I see is the ashed earth of it the texture of its brownness and reddishness Like his skin it looks so cinnamony Smooth Like it would taste good Though we both know it will not I can drill a finger hole into the center of it and now it is a square box ...with a round hole I do not fit nicely into either shape as I am star dust and must just keep blowing around all the time

Love the stardust , no, you do not need to be edited . I was told about that " seen' sounds better as a "saw" Though I hope you liked it ;)

Oh Debbie! I loved the poem! Sad I did not express that!

Nice one! I like how it started with texture and taste and ended abstract dust blowing.
