Appalachian Bowl Poem by Gayle M. Citrus Maize Water Nora Shoshone Doherty Winchester, story song Glen A, Sweeney +

Appalachian Bowl

Rating: 5.0


A patch of feathered cloud white
is glazed inside the center
Of the small, round blue handmade bowl -
Kiln fired, down from around the Tennessee smokey mountaintops.
A hint of the cloud has embedded blue circles there -
Soaring sky blue and then deep exquisitely blue.
Midnight blue adorns the edge of the pottery.
The white and blue are luminous -
A piece of the Appalachian sky! I got this small bowl at Dollywood. Gayle S.

How wonderful that you find poetic nature even in the picture on a bowl. Read mine – Hand Haying – Adeline
