Origin
I come from silky mud
after a season of rain, rain, rain
one spring.
The universe would not
allow the earth to dry up
my mother could not resist
and picked up a clump
and made a fist
to shape me into the person I am today.
She told me though
that I had picked her.

I like this. You took a simple thing like walking in the rain and mud and made it sound beautiful. Great metaphor with the mud, clay and yourself.

Thanks so much. I want to learn how to do pottery in my old age :). For me it is a way to connect with nature and to become more creative. But when I wrote the poem I thought about my own formation and how I get it now that we are all a part of each other. Thanks again. -Melba Christie
