Name That Vase – October 2020

It’s time to share our winner and feature another vase in need of a name! Welcome to my monthly feature – ‘Name that Vase’.

For those who are new to this feature, ‘Name that Vase’ is where you can suggest a name, create a story, poem or prose for this raku pottery vase. Consider this your chance to be inspired, a writing prompt or a creative cue. You can, or if you are feeling nostalgic,that started what has now become a monthly tradition for our blog and readers.

This month we have a very special vase for your naming, but first we must congratulate last time’s winner Lynda McKinney Lambert for their name and write-up! Congratulations!

Abalone Sky

I suggest “Abalone Sky” for this powerful “vase-for-all-seasons,” and I wrote this poem for it.

abalone sky
Polynesian pearl in sunshine
silken snow melting
bronze leaf clusters on smoke tree
wet branches that feel satisfied
