Spinning the wheel <br />Positioning the clay <br />Hands begin to play <br />Everything has a form <br />What will I make today <br /> <br />Round and round the potters wheel goes <br />The artist moulds her design <br />With each item her talent is shown <br />A bowl a plate or a cup can be seen <br /> <br />Round and round the lathe rotates <br />Transforming the wood so plain <br />The shape grows <br />Soon we have beautiful symetry <br />How the wood has changed. <br /> <br />Spin the lathe and turn this wood <br />The marvel of the artist at work <br />Take a piece of wood that looks so plain <br />And produce a piece of pure pleasure <br /> <br />Spinning round and round noises in my ears <br />cant stand and greet the world <br />Time is passing by. <br /> <br />Life life spinning and turning <br />Taking time from them all <br />Noise noise there is so much noise <br />Crazy you feel all the time.. <br /> <br /> <br />(* dedicated to 2 wonderful people... my sister the potter and my father who suffers from Meniers... the lathe hides the noise*) <br /> written January 2007<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spinning-in-time/
