Not only do I love the artwork you choose to go with your poem
Which I thought was a perfect match.
I love the words to your poem. I'm please they way He created me that is why I dare to be different.

Yes, what we are on the outside is not that important. Very inspiring subject with a very well-composed lines and a smooth and natural rhyme at their ends. I cannot understand though what you meant by the phrase "a pinch of lust." I feel that the spiritual air of the poem especially the mention about God making us out of dust in the line just before makes the phrase out of place and a little bit awkward to hear . Anyway, see if you could change it. If not, it is still a very good poem.

The image goes a long way in framing your words into pictures. I especially enjoyed how this poem points out that God makes no mistakes. It evokes the lesson of acceptance and love for mankind as the world should be. I saw no flaws.

This clay vessel poem, Because, uses an iambic tetrameter and rhyming couplets to rephrase poetically Isaiah 29:16. The challenge to defend one's physical appearance to God's plan for us is handled in this great piece.

How beautifully written! This poem should be a mantra for every young adult. Our sense of confidence and worth are earned and owned by the choices we make. But having a guiding hand to form and shape us as we develop is also important.
I didn't find anything I would change, so this rating is a grateful 5 stars. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Lovely interpretation of the verse from Isaiah, mixing in self-affirmation, AA, and the Book of Genesis. It reads very nicely. Good luck in the contest.

This is nice about the potter and I like the words you used to describe the potter's
work. You can read a lot about the potter and each story I am lifted up because I
can never read enough about the wonders of God.
That first stanza is awesome.

Your couplets are very nice.
