Ode To Audre Lorde, Afro-American Poetess
Audre Lorde's 'Love Poem' cannot be found
that's why this poem was created
it is a candid and exquisite portrayal
of her experiences in love with women.
In this poem, she uses vivid metaphors
to describe the female body to nature.
Summed up, 'Love Poem' is
a bold and honest expression of love,
desire, and the complicated connections
between bodies, nature, and identity.
It is a testament to Audre Lorde's courage and dedication to addressing injustice through her poetry, methinks.
How can I give a complete comment
on Poem Hunter's poem site's presence
if half of the Love Poem is missing?
Lorde is too precious a poetess, I think.
