Unwrapped
by
Laura Purdie Salas
Next
 

Seashell swallows ocean
Pounds its tidal beat

Spark contains a bonfire
Tribal, flaming heat

Pebble echoes mountain
Architect of Earth

Seed encircles fir tree
Needled summer birth

Dawn announces daylight
Salmon skies unfurled

Heart splits softly open
Reveals the spinning world

In spite of its length, this poem has some of the sound of a haiku in its intensity. Love it.

This is lovely. The heart splits open. We need to unwrap so others can see our packaging.

BEAUTIFUL!!! This is one of the best rhyming poems I've read in a long, long time. Surprising (as in not predictable) and lovely.
