    A Root Out of Dry Ground (partI)

    Out of the ground
    comes a root that has no form-
    it has no beauty
    in which one can adore-

    It was created
    to live in obscurity
    and its color has faded
    which takes away its delicacy

    While springing-up into this world
    this root grew tall
    and sprouted-as it swirled

    and with noone around
    to nourish it with care,
    this root still prospered
    in spite of despair

    abused and neglected
    it never nestled
    nor was it accepted-
    and although it carries a sound
    still,
    it remains,
    a root,
    out of dry ground.

    Good use of symbolism in this poem! I like it.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
