Doris Culverhouse Poet Light Verse

Potshard All In God's Plan

Sun hardened clay
molded into a vessel
broken in time
Reinvented as a scratching tool...  Job

Jaw bone of destruction
death begats death
Weapon of mass destruction
In a mighty man's hands...

Jail bird, registered sex offender
Interpreter of dreams
Favorite servant of a king
Saved a mighty nation
during a deadly famine.... 

Do you know these people??

Audrey Haick January 13, 2011 at 7:02 PM Well-written Doris but there's a little bit of each in me so, I dare not point my finger at any. We're just grateful that The Potter uses the broken clay to make new ones. Great job as usual. Always, Annalise

Robert Pettit January 13, 2011 at 4:58 PM The second verse describes Samson while the third verse tells about Joseph. Is the person in the first verse Moses? Good write.

Sara Kendrick January 13, 2011 at 3:22 PM Well, you gave us a very good clue on the first one..Then there is Samson, and Joseph...Enjoyed your version of the "Biblical" stories..Your presence at my work was delight that lifted my spirits..Mom
