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
