    Basket

    Carefully she twirled the reed,
    diligent she wound--
    between two unlikely stems
    a simple sphere of brown--

    With just a dab of mud
    to make a tender floor--
    with heaven a ceiling above
    and leaping for the door---

    I particularly aagree with dahlusion's metaphor below. I'll add, however, it leaves you wanting more. Thanks for the invite.

    The simplicity of this piece is like an empty painting that is full of meaning. Bravo!

    sounds like a creation myth ... interesting imagery, with an (almost?) non-sequiter ending ... all creations should be appreciated so ... -dh
