Fish Skin

I smell the ocean In the skin of a fish. In the corners of my mouth the taste of waves rolling and rollicking with a salty roar. I wonder where the fish was caught, How far out did the fisherman go to cast his net? The fish tastes of the caverns, corals, and crevices thatContinue reading “Fish Skin”

City

The bus hurtles down the highway Rumbling, rolling, rattling, At every bump and bend. It leaves the city behind, Which now is, a thin white Layer of fog, freckled with dots of white and yellow.

Opera

Eyes lean and hungry Gaze deep into the skull Of night.   A crow with dusty wings Flies into a blood-soaked opera Of worms and insects. The reaper shuns all light. Soon, swooping wings And a dagger beak Cuts through tainted flesh. The music stops And insects scatter The less fortunate Are stabbed and killed.Continue reading “Opera”

For instance in his poem Pike, violence is not thrust upon the reader but is subtly suggested in aContinue reading “Exploring Sylvia Plath’s Mindscape through Ted Hughes’s “Red””
