What God Intended

WHAT GOD INTENDED

i grabbed the soupy ceramic
without a doubt
basic white, and i’m blank

i choose a skybound color
a lovely tone of blue
and paint the inside blue
and the outside too
several layers
that’s what they told me to do

i grab some silk
a pretty curlicue
and blot with bliss
just below the sip line
with a lovely teal this time

gaining speed, a rose
with specks
they say it’ll drip
when they finish it off

so i say tell me the truth
does this look awful
and they say “yes”

but quantified, that after
the soup mug
feels the burn
and cools down

it will be what God intended

This is one sweet, affectionate poem, Kim. I love your potter's house poetic creations. When your pen finishes a poem's last line, what it was intended to be ... forever shines! Beautiful sentiments. Sunburst poetry. Love and smiles always.
