I thought of pottery/earthenware for all that it endures and remains beautiful nevertheless.

Clay toys – horse carts, bullock carts

Here is my ode to it –

Kneaded, twisted

And burnt in the kiln

I emerge

Only to be

Heated on the stove

Shoved in the freezer

Serving hot, serving cold

Soup, soap and sundry my insides hold

But I don’t complain ‘coz

The bullock cart your children drag around

Decorations the potter makes

Save me from certain death

In today’s plastic age

Something for children – horse carts, bullock carts

Keep it hot – ceramic kettle

Tinkle bell – Clay wind chimes

Have fun with dinner – Casseroles, bowls, cups

Color your bath- soap dishes, brush holders

Indian handicrafts – household decorative
