The Cat Lassie and the Potter Sometimes In a Frock

In a loose constrict In what I am doing here It occurs to me A commonality Between a Cat Lassie And a Potter sometimes in a Frock. It must be understood The different characteristics Of admire, aspire and inspire. The inventor of the lavatory The wheel, the motor engine The meteorite mother of us all. All I admire. I exist, my feet are not sore And it’s not too shitty anymore. Ghandi, Mandela. Wilde and Woolf. Bowie, Simon but sorry Garfunkel not you. The list goes on I admire them all To their brilliance I aspire In listed order In pairs - Their selflessness set an example. Their words are my education. Their tunes are exhilarating. But maybe because I am lazy Only twice I have been roused to action - Inspired (In the loose constrict of what I am doing here). A Cat Lassie singing her heart out Past the shallow Acceptance of age and aesthetics Being key to a dream. A Potter sometimes in a Frock On topic – shark in a tank Cracking the consensus With champion ceramics. There is the commonality Of the Cat Lassie And the Potter sometimes in a Frock Both inspired me One to make a start T’other to keep going with my art. © 2016 Margo Cami [www.margocami.com]
