Marvellous Metaphor David. Sylvia Plath is one of my favourite poets. Her untimely death has ever remained a mystery.

Thank you Unnikrishnan for your lovely comments. SP is one of my favourite poets and I am always reminded of her sad end.

Part 3: "She had two names, The other, Victoria Lucas. " By leaving her pen-name to the poet's notes, David has endeared the poem to us, by its brevity. David's poetic talent and skill make me an ardent follower of his.

Beautiful poem. Very elegantly penned. But the underlying agony of the poet surfaces often and overtakes the metaphors. In every line, one could read it between the lines.
