It seems to me that you are making the sensible choice in choosing teak over the other options. This is funny and rhymes well. It is fun to read.

A good entry into the What is a Clay Vessel contest. Good rhyming and flow in the poem. Verses flow one to the next smoothly and it is an enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

In the high seas there are many vessels, but when the wind begins to swirl and the water rises, the clay that is floating on top will last for smooth sailing. This two is a wondering vessel, put together with a ripe form to display. Thanks for sharing

This is very clever. I like the defination of "vessel". Your words are well rhymed and the "other" ship building materials you have listed is original. Great job!

This is the most humorous and original poem I have read in this contest so far. Most poets wrote of God or Jesus as the ultimate Potter who reshapes them. I found your take on the contest theme to be refreshing, vivid, and funny. Thank you for sharing. I wish you success in the contest.

I try for different kinds of poetry contests now as there are so many that I am unfamiliar with. I had fun with this one. Thanks for reviewing it.

I like your poem. Even though you are talking about a boat, I felt that it related to how a person set their foundation in life. Some make it flimsy and loose. Others build on a solid foundation. I thought that the rhyming was good and the story you told was easy to follow. I also liked the way your verses were set to rhyme, in alternating form. (1&3) (2&4).
