Excellent poetic form, a smooth flow of lines and verses. Excellent analogy to the potter creating a clay jar, we are moulded and shaped to be unique. I love the line about breaking when old yet still belonging to Jesus. It is a positive line that adds to the strength of the poem.

I love this poem. I was enthralled with your opening: "Because God made me from the dust..." It hooked me in and kept my attention and admiration throughout your piece. Best of luck in the contest!

This is a very inspirational poem! I loved it. You might want to pluralize Jesus though. But really, this was great to read.

According to science on the molecular side, clay may have been the template to put the building blocks of life together. Just ask the Bible for this answer.

This is an enjoyable poem that reminded this reader to appreciate what God has given me. Just the chance to live and experience life is so much better than never getting such a gift. You have a fine contest entry here and I wish you well.

This is beautiful! I love how you used your rhymes and rhythms to make your poem flow nicely. Your picture works well, too, because the Word says we are jars of clay. Good luck with your WHAT IS A CLAY VESSEL contest entry.

Thank you for sharing, my friend...Penny

Beautiful poem! I enjoyed reading it. The words were clear and to the point. They almost jumped off the screen. The words flowed.

Very nice writing! I like the imagery you used; it brings to life an age old story, history, really. In today's society of skinny women and popularity contests, your poem tells us that God created us as we are, not who we "should " be in order to be accepted. Well done!
