POMEGRANATES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hard pomegranates sundered
Last Line: Its secret architecture.
Subject(s): Pomegranates


Hard pomegranates sundered
By excess of your seeds,
You make me think of mighty brows
Aburst with their discoveries!

If the suns you underwent,
O pomegranates severed,
Wrought your essence with the pride
To rend your ruby segments,

And if the dry gold of your shell
At instance of a power
Cracks in crimson gems of juice,

This luminous eruption
Sets a soul to dream upon
Its secret architecture.
