As one who frequently uses the potter’s wheel, this speaks to me. Nicely captured!
Beautiful image that captures the wonder of nature’s creativity. I also love the sounds of the words, as was mentioned already, the “roundness” of the words, as well as the roundness of nature and the wheel. Very well done.
As an artist, this one resonates with me. I too love the “roundness” that Jerry Kilbride astutely points out. I also love the fact that this poem was able to bring to great poets together, which I suppose in a way, completes the circle or “roundness” between reader and poet. Okay, maybe I’m stretching it a bit, but I did want to say that I enjoyed this one . . .

Great. A touch of Omar Kayyam.
I found your book, “Open Window” when I went looking for information about Tundra. It is an exquisite book and I wanted to thank you for sharing it.
