Clay

I sculpted you
threw you into fire
pulled you out
let you cool off
and painted you black—the
color of night
so that I can
be intimate with you.


Nullity

I am all subject to decay
For I am but clay.
Subdued by death,
I return to the earth.
I am a conscript;
A divine script
On time's throne.

Eve wanted to show Adam her bust
'Cos it always filled Adam with lust
But God told her, "No!
Thou shalt NEVER show
Lest thou shalt not see Adam for dust!"

Lush geranium proud and glorious.
Blooms so gracefully in old clay pot.
without a tinge of shame.

A Pot of Raw Clay

a pot of raw clay   
                                         melts as soon as water poured

Preferable is for Man, on

Soft clay, his opinions to write,


For 


Easy to erase them will be 

When the truth he finds!

Feet of Clay

Here is what I need to say,
We're all humans with feet of clay,
So, do lay off us chicks today,
Go look in a mirror some day,
To older men with your spare tyres,
Yes! Your gynaecologist has retired!

Premium Member Molded Clay

As a molded clay
Shaped by laborious hands
Cracked in the outside
Symbol of the brunts of life
Choosing to rise from ashes

Premium Member Clay Birth

Soft pliable clay, peels away with tools touch; cold and wet. The sculptors’ eye sees life in the clay before, it reveals itself. Scrape away the excess baggage and a new beauty is born.

Men of Clay

Sand of day
dust by night
men of clay
robbed of sight

bone to bone
dream asunder
violence intone
is it any wonder

we fight to no end
we lose despite
peace without defend
and at the end no respite

when you lose your way
Jesus is a way maker

 He's right there at the harvest

Crowing Achievement

Ground fenced becomes a fall garden
deterring squirrels' and rabbits' play.
Guard the soil that winter will harden
defeating Indiana clay.
Gilded tulips (unsightly bulbs' pardon)
deserve a diadem come May.

Red Georgia clay mounded by ants
Fireants the invader
Found landscape ideal for their lives
Now entrepreneur

Set up shop all over the south
Clean up any, every
Edible morsel starve native
Ants, their adversary

in the potter's hands
                                           a lump of clay is transformed...
                                                    an object of worth

A Clay Heart

My heart is made of clay left in the cold,

Knead me, please.

Show me how to pump blood again.

Remind me of my days under the earth,

Held pliant and warm.

Make me something better with your gentle shaping fingers,

And leave your mark.

Premium Member when the clay is scorched

so little is enough for me 
on the loggia in the summer
through half-closed eyes...
the regular ping of a tennis ball
the scissor-like flights of swallows
the shunting of factory wagons
cheerful chatter from the café...
I hope it never ends

The Pot of Clay Wonders

Is the world cheating on me?
Is self-deception so thick that I cannot see?

Is the world beating on me?
Is suicide so slow that I cannot be free?

Or be me?

What am I?

A wave passing by?
Or a rock so grounded that it cannot try?
Or ask why?

What am I?

Premium Member SNOW DAYS

Winter sun is yellow gold
Making mud run of melting snow
And Carolina clay is frozen hill
Where kids sled and play at will

Frosted sky with cotton cloud
In the eye of guy driving snow plow
He’s hard at work while we all play
All school kids search for snowy days

Lord I'm such so dry 
dry grounds pure power powder
pour on me waters

I who was dry dirt
reaping heavens rain down pour
Lord Blessed I'm set

crescent dawning sprite
pour waters of heaven drench
wet my vessel Bless

Clay

When you arise from a fall
When I doubt the strain and you call
It’s been a long time; wow you’re now tall
Summaries & now we sum it all
What a good start it was, and now no goal
 Look I am sorry I won’t come to the bowl
I have changed so much, look at you…
Its not us again, its not all
