Question: Poetry Analysis!. Draft of a modern love poem!?
I am so bad at this!! Please help!

Written by: Tadeusz RĂ³?ewicz


And yet white
is best described by gray
bird by stone
sunflowers
in December
love poems of old
were descriptions of the flesh
described this and that
for instance eyelashes
and yet red
should be described
by gray the sun by rain
poppies in November
lips by night
the most tangible
description of bread
is a description of hunger
in it is
the damp porous core
the warm interior
sunflowers at night
the breasts belly thighs of Cybele
a spring-clear
transparent description
of water
is a description of thirst
ashes
desert
it produces a mirage
clouds and trees move into
the mirror
Lack hunger
absence
of flesh
is a description of love
is a modern love poemWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The author is bemoaning the ironic, overly symbolic love poems of today compared to the classics!. He misses the straight talk of flesh and desire!.He says it all in the last five lines they lack hunger (lust) by NOT mentioning flesh, ironically is today a description of love!. He feels today's love poems are like a puzzle to be figured out:
and yet red
should be described
by gray the sun

the most tangible
description of bread
is a description of hunger

a spring-clear
transparent description
of water
is a description of thirstWww@QuestionHome@Com
