praise is the test
that tells what
substance fills a vessel
for as sure as a pot thinks
she is gold,
she cracks,
ordinary clay.

I am reminded of the Persian poet khayyam
and middle eastern poetry in general
where the pot and the potter are metaphors
for the creator and the created
this becomes interesting
as to what fills a pot or even the shape of pot
is the pot used by life or sits to the side on a shelf
in your work the pot assumed it is made from gold
and cracks
thus revealing a metaphor for vanity
the pot has externalized with no thought to what may be an inner purpose
or indeed what the potter intended for it
I like this few words big meaning
Thank you, Jack.
I like few words, big meaning, too. Sometimes I am guilty of many words and little meaning. I hope not too often. Thank again for your kind and wonderful comment. I have always been fascinated by pottery, it’s beauty, its frailty.
