Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Cracked Clay Pots

The old, cracked clay pots on the shelf
They've been there so long
I leave them there as a reminder
Life leaves deep wounds from wrongs   

Some cracks are deep with crevices bold 
Some so fine almost unseen
Those have been repaired hold the soul
But none can repair the genes

They are so old and unwanted now
Their shelf life ending soon
Their souls have been put through the fire
Only use is to be ground up and strewn

Gershon Wolf March 16, 2023 at 6:15 PM Aha! A plug for recycling, if I may: Why not recycle the genes as 'jeans?' Sara Kendrick March 17, 2023 at 5:27 AM Gershon, Do you think I could get by with that. I appreciate the added humor. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Victor Buhagiar March 11, 2023 at 1:13 AM Doubt if clay jars can be repaired. Sara Kendrick March 11, 2023 at 3:33 AM Yes, Victor, I agree that probably clay can't be repaired to be used again only so one can see what they possibly looked like when whole. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Kim Rodrigues March 10, 2023 at 7:42 PM They’ve been there so long… Those have been repaired hold the soul But none can repair the genes… Sara Kendrick March 11, 2023 at 3:29 AM Kim, Yes, we have inherited Adam and that brings death doesn't it. Your visits always add a new dimension to my work. Sara

Valsa George March 10, 2023 at 7:23 PM Very meaningful and profound ... more than simply cracked pots in the literal sense. A great entry for the contest. All the Best dear Sara... Sara Kendrick March 11, 2023 at 3:21 AM Valsa, You visits are delightful. I appreciate so much the time spent here. I need wishes for all the best for sure. Sara

Daniel Turner March 10, 2023 at 4:28 PM Very nice Mrs Sara. A darn good analogy. I feel like an old worn out cracked pot, (some days) Have a great weekend. Sara Kendrick March 11, 2023 at 3:04 AM Thank you, Daniel. Yes, aging brings bad days but there are the good days along the way. Thank you for stopping by. Sara
