on the potters wheel
earth slides though wet fingertips
rising into form

Great take on the prompt and a terrific ku. It took me on quite a metaphysical journey....

I always loved the way a potter could just take a lump of clay and turn it into something so beautiful- just a wonderful haiku!

Scribbles,
Lovely haiku! One of the things I like about ODB, is how everyone brings a different image to the fore. The potters wheel throws a differnt feel on the dirt/mud. ;-)
