Hello and happy April! Welcome to the month of showers bringing May flowers and also 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 check out a ‘Name that Vase’ post to see how it works, or if you are feeling nostalgic, you can check out the first ever ‘Name that Vase’ post 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 month’s winner fakeflamenco for their name and poem. Congratulations!
Shards of a womb
That brought forth life
Whose nurture and love
Sustain me still
Decades from her passing.
Grandmother.
And into our new month!
Here is our vase for April:
Please add what you think the name should be for our April vase and any associated poetry or story in the comments below. I look forward to reading all your great ideas!
