Concealed by the sands of time:
Unearthed by the wind....

 fault lines in life-lines fracturing
  writing it real while cracking...

old pottery jugs
cracking with the weight of age
silently weeping

Glass like pottery
is fragile
and can easily break
ah! I fear to be
injured by broken glasses
as these things
 too are making up....

my poetry is
      ancient pottery
    cracked and broken
  buried
           abandoned remnants
       of a once good
    civilization...

In sanctuary,
Cracked from flows and blows of life,
A piece of raw clay!

Mold me, my Potter;
I surrender to thee now,
Pray bake me finest!...

A girl who made her own pottery
learned she had just won the lottery
	she had a glazed look
	as her head she shook
her eyes like her clay got watery...

A clerk nags her workers all day
Until her face got stuck in some clay
Knew pottery was produce
She called for a truce
Then gave them a joyful playday...

your clay
into a vase

Ming Dynasty

you please
me just being

Colombian...

Cast him not in bronze,
Nor sculpt in pottery clay,
Lay down the chisel
Where the marble bust holds sway.

Better to fold paper
In the Origami play,
So when fame has died,
He can quickly blow away....

wheel thrown pottery
coils of clay willingly yield-
master potter's touch

Great work by hands
Walks the annals of history:
Painting, sculpture, writing 
Carving, masonry, pottery 
Jewelry, carpentry and others
Passed the test of time
Nothing is more beautiful 
Than things made by our own hands....

Mud 

The Mud

Is the earth's black congealing blood

Rising above from the flood 

Nature's pottery clay

The worm's die cursing 

Into the Seagulls beak 

As the tide retreats 

Under sodden sock's and granny feet...

Pottery from Stone
who stop this retinue for me ?
Raised on hope
is all we have got
No use being exaggerated
from the shelter of the storm
The stones are clear from the rain
Something mysteric roams
My mind ruled by the weather...

Pottery jugs big and small
Flowers in abundance one and all.

Sometimes roses, lillies too, 
Daisies white with a yellow hue

Birthdays weddings, anniversaries too
out comes the gug both bright and blue

To house the flowers sent by you....

tilted up toward sky
the trio fills its space
with well-rounded lips in
resonant, chorded, choral grace

aaaaahhhhhhhhhh! {loudly with song}

Concrete jail like walls,
Butterflies flying around in my stomach, 
Friends,
Art,
Pottery,
Noise,
Strangers,
Wandering around in a big school,
Mouthwatering PB and J for lunch,
Depressing,
Never ending day,
Pencils,
Pens,
Eyes drooping from exhaustion,
Smiles, 
Confusion....

The lands are full of treasures
The pottery materials
The costruction materials
The plants
The rivers
The mountains
The minerals
But once they are under man's feet
Man lost the respect for them
They explore
They conquer 
They exploit
Until they become "deserts"...

pottery wheel spun
clay covered her face and hands –
     his passion aroused

Righteous Brothers hit 
Unchained Melody playing –
     spell of passion cast

true love never chained
romance fills the silver screen --
      setting hearts afire

Clear days of old,
Antebellum.
Not too fancy,
Mediocre.
Bright color seen
Perfect warm nest.
Young harmony
Child fairyland

Secondary,
Tall pine in back.
Conspicuous, 
lone pompous rose
Toxic ivy
Marigold patch
Null pottery
Stream overflow
Taste pure water

Ordain infant
Adore always 
Wife trustworthy
True nuptials
Man unyeilding...

The
house was full
    of yesterdays-
books
    that filled
      wet Wednesdays
cross-stitch
   hours upon the wall
   eclectic
art,glass,pottery
collected,moments
   sentiments
   priceless,unique
   irreplaceable-
a smell of love
     percolated
      into offspring
memories
drifting
       to timeless
tomorrows...
