Not a red rose or a satin heart. I give you an onion -- Carol Ann Duffy
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
Today, I give you an onion.
Every day,
As you peel off a layer
A new story, a new face
A new man you will find.
Every day, another layer
another story, another truth,
what lies beneath, to see
fighting the tears
But never look in isolation,
An onion is nothing alone
put it in a recipe and it finds meaning
see me in context,
with my frailties, with my flaws,
Once you know me then
I'll give you a red rose or a satin heart
But today, I give you an onion.
An onion to make you cry.

Striking imagery depicting the tastiness of the onion and its savagery on your eyes while cooking it. It is also a powerful comment on the harshness of human nature.
this is brilliant stuff. so many layers, so many stories.
