POEM STARTER

Write a poem centred around a sculptor and their clay.

Clay Heart

You know

Its the only thing I can control

I can manipulate it in my hands

Pour my soul into the clay


I can control it

Unlike my mind

The racing thoughts

The words unwind


I mold it

Into a mug

A vase

A plate


I destroy it time

It doesn’t work

Its not quite right

So i mold it anew


I mold it into a heart

Still unbeating

Yet pulsating with emotion

Filled with the blood of my mind


I crush it between my hands

The clay oozing through my fingers

That heart never deserved to be created

It deserved to be destroyed


My heart

That heart

Broken

Together
