My Pot is Cracked
... back in the kiln, again38 total reviews
Comment from Louise Michelle
Wow - this is one of the most enjoyable spiritual poems I've read in a long time.
The meter is so bouncy and spot on. You chose your rhymes well - nothing was forced and all enhanced each stanza.
And then we come to using the pot as a metaphor. Very clever and oh, so true. A really terrific poem. Hugs, Lou

Lou - thanks for the sweet words and confirmation. I just wish I could 'reform' my sixty-five (soon to be 66) year old body. 'Course if I had to jump in a kiln to do it I think I'd say ... "NeverMind!"
Nice talking at you.

It's more than a poem. You are sharing a life experience. You have been given the gift that enables you to see and understand Life's Journey. And not just see it yourself but have the ability to tell it to others in a wonderful poem.

Comment from Chris Walker
This is a truly wonderful piece you've written. There is so much feeling in this thought provoking poem. Your analogy to a potter reforming a broken vessel was beautiful. Good luck in the contest. Chris

Beautifully written, when we get chipped and broken we fall apart, the Potter gathers us up and remoulds us with His loving hands. This has been a pleasure to read. Best wishes for the contest.
Bless you

Comment from Gone but not forgotten
None of us is perfect, but I enjoyed the analogy of being re-formed, literally, in the hands of your creator. The first two stanzas as especially poignant and beautiful.

Relda...Nice to know you, too. I will warn you that I wrote quite an explicit Erotic story (which you may want to skip!) that has been very well received. Who knew THAT was my niche! Nobody was more surprised than I. In a year on this site, I've gotten just one "six star rating" and the erotic story has gotten six! But again, it's definitely "R" rated. Just FYI. Thanks!

Hey, I've read Song of Solomon - there're some explicit portions in it. In fact my pastor asked me to teach a Bible Study about the book. I did it. Uncomfortable but it was standing room only. Go figure!

Comment from Joyce Long
Very well written. Best wishes in the I Am Not Perfect contest. "He is the potter; I am the clay." Your poem tells it all. He takes us and forms us into his likeness "More Like the Master, I will always be." Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
