New Poems - Tanka Style

Last night we ladies explored the Japanese style "Tanka" of poem.   Longer than a Haiku.   No punctuation.  Lyrical!
 
the wheel is silent
I place the moist clay on the bat
I wet my hands
I cup the clay
the 3 of us go round and round.
 
 
 
the vessel sits on it's tile
all night long drying shrinking
it is bone dry now
can-will it withstand the fire
