InsideOut: poems

by L.L. Barkat

Milkweed bursts with silken seed. Crushed almonds scatter like spilled cinnamon. A child clips basil at the tender neck, after a family friend passes away. Love is swallowed in moondust, bared in cherry rose. Across the landscape of human experience, can 'inside' really be disentangled from 'out'?

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poetry I could relate to and understand. Simple but not simplistic. Poems that are written about observations of life.
