Maisie Meade

Forgive Me

I have smashed
Your clay pot
To smithereens.

You know,
The large red bowl
Engraved to perfection.

The one
You worked so hard on
Which was going to be displayed
In the art gallery.

Please forgive me
There was not enough
Space in the exhibit
And I thought
Mine was better.
