Piece of Art

Down the stairs
Into the dark
The smell of clean dirt
Clay
The wheel spins
The shapeless mass takes shape
Her hands molding, pushing
A bowl?
A glass?
A piece of her soul
For all to gaze
She sets it down
Beside the rest
Of her soul
It looks the same
Yet it stands out
As an individual
As a work of Art

Written by my 16 year old, just coming into his own. What do you think?

Terrific 16 year old...
Am I being gender paranoid, but why do so many female potters
start out in dark basements? Do men work below ground too?
If I am being gender sensitive,keep the flaming below cone
