Add a p to the front of me, and I’m a person who specializes in making things with clay. Add the word box, instead, and I’m known for durable phone and media cases. I’m a playful and cute water creature who lives in both fresh and salt water habitats. I’m not as sneaky as my cousin, the weasel.

Your car is well tuned if you can stop on me. I am extremely common and abundant when I am a dozen.

I begin as a whisper that crawls on ground, Then sleep in a cradle where silence is found. I wake painted bright, with sky in my sight, A living soft question that dances in light. I sip from flowers, I drift but don’t stay, A fleeting small poem that flutters away. I’m born from becoming, from stillness to fly, Tell me my name as I pass you by.

Dogs famously do it, Humans wear it, For style or through misuse, I become holy.

I have legs but don't walk I hold you steady
