Teacup

So yesterday, I went to a creative writing conference for "emerging voices" with a friend, which was a lot of fun. I got to attend a workshop on transmedia storytelling (how to create stories people can interact with using 21st century technology) by a couple of people from The Mission Business, as well as two poetry workshops.
One of the poetry exercises I had to do was to describe an emotion using an object as a symbol.
And this is what I came up with:

Ceramic fragile under 
fingertips, 
handle bowed under its 
own weight 
it sighs, 
routines of days 
staining white 
edges,
it weeps 
as the steam escapes, 
others gentle with their touch 
cautious of the heat
