Consulting with my Sculptor I critiqued His use of clay To create my well carved features In such a careful way:
My eyes are held in hollowed Holes of hardened clay Though the hue be not hallowed They’re heavenly all the same.
This nose be a beautiful bridge Baked by bronze- brown clay Unbroken by blows for blood Breeze brings sweet bouquets
Mighty words are measured From a mouth made of clay I mix at my leisure My mouth is untamed
While my hips are not the widest Of Wonders won with clay While my waist is not the finest Wand whittled for display
My frame is flawless and free Formed by flowing clay Flimsy words find their way to me And fall on futile way
As I am an amazing art piece And I am allowed to say I acknowledge that my Artist Has a way with clay
I accidentally posted a poem, which I was worried would be too offending and dumb. I'm a little embarrassed, heh heh. Even though only 5 people saw it. But that's a lot, on hellopoetry. So, to redeem myself, I'm posting this poem of self love and acceptance. I wish I could feel like the persona, you know? Writing it, I did feel a little body positive for my own self, but the feeling didn't linger.Oh well, hope you like it! Oh, and thanks for reading <3
