Pottery's Reality

Antique cambers of adobe magnetism 
Smooth, creamy, and grimy in quick twirls of ardor
And heated fragile useful walls  
Of voluptuous clay stand as a fluid performer of melody   
Elegantly soaring through the clouds of dust 
That gather on my shelf to level the tender ballet floor 
On the toes of functional works of sculpture
The artiste glides to the tunes of the painted lined songs
At first glance this recitalist is still and motionless
But at a deeper examination
The entertainer is a lively carter master piece of poise and expression.
