My first impression on seeing the title was 'Shrek', the second impression upon reading this was 'Shakespeare'.... it is a very beautiful and deep poem. Grittily told with strong metaphors but I enjoyed it nonetheless. In fact, the grittiness adds to its beauty. Your love shines through no matter what flaws this person has. HG: -) xx

A masterful ode to Allium cepa. What a concept! 'Your best taints everything near' as well as 'Deglaze yourself my desire' and 'I would trade all lesser botanicals / once more for your smile' are not your average garden variety lines. Being a gardener and cook (some say I put onions into everything but my coffee and tea) myself, I can fully appreciate the sentiments herein. Viva l'Oignon! A votre santé, Greg

A wonderful mixture of the botanical, the culinary and the poetical in this sweet tribute to the fairest and most pungent of all vegetables - without which the food we eat would be so compromised. Some highly original images of sky and cloud and heartlessness are also most appealing. Love this one. Allie xxxxxxxxxxx
