It's been a bit busy so I haven’t decided yet on a theme for May, but since a few of you took the time to vote in the “Who’s your favorite poet” poll (thanks for doing that!), I’ll buy myself some time to think of themes and meanwhile post a poem from the winning poet. Enjoy!
Metaphors
by Sylvia Plath
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
