What is a Plowl?

While I went to poet school, and learned how to write all my poems on my own, I played with a little AI today to see if it could do the incredible ceramic plowl poetic justice. Because…why not?

But first, what is the pottery plowl?

Some call them blates, I call them plowls, but they are one and the same, and the most versatile functional dinnerware item! (In my humble opinion.)

Plowls are the magical love child of the bowl and the plate. The plowl inherits the best qualities from its parents:

  1. The Plate:

    The plowl has the stable flat surface of a plate, with the ability to plate food artistically to stimulate appetite. Need to eat with a fork and knife? The plowl can handle it.

  2. The Bowl:

    The plowl has the rounded taller walls of a bowl, ideal for containing liquids, preventing spills, and scooping easily. Want to eat a cozy meal like pasta bolognese or a yogurty fruity breakfast? The plowl can handle it.

Isn’t the plowl amazing? Have I convinced you? Perhaps this prompted AI robot poet can:

Sonnet for the Handmade Ceramic Plowl

O plowl, thou hybrid 'twixt bowl and plate divine,

Eight inches wide, two inches in thy height,

Thou art a vessel for each meal's design,

In thee, culinary dreams take flight.

With salads green, thy shallow depth does grace,

And soups and stews find comfort in thy rim,

Thy versatile form, a chef's embrace,

For yogurt, granola, thee doth not skim.

From morning's light to dinner's savory,

Thou servest all with grace and artful flair,

A canvas for each dish, a tale to carry,

In thy smooth curves, a feast beyond compare.

Handmade ceramic plowl, we sing thy praise,

In thee, our meals find joy in countless ways.
