this poem makes me sad

Two poems in a poem. Very excellently done. nature has its own role to play in igniting love and passion in humans. 'This kind of hunger draws everything into its own space; nor can we'.. that is true. Congrats.

everything under constructed mode slowly green to ripe and withered hungriness in the world instability motion death in the chain of life... recycling more

I found this poem chosen as the modern poem of the poem of the day for second time. Thanks and congratulations.

This kind of hunger draws everything into its own space; nor can we talk it all over, have a calm rational discussion. no reasonable discussion. tony

The poem has two parts.While reading the first part gave me the impression of a pure love poem.The poem is totally different in its second part- -Perhaps it is all consuming greed that destroys the beauty of earth.or any relationship.

Bone of contention is not only for dogs but also for warring men too in the competition for power leading to dogs of war story to read by all to be free from becoming casualties in hospitals unmanageable sure! Thanks for sharing this poem now!

Every time I read Atwood I'm reminded what an I am. This women masters language and expression like a captain of galleon. Here she seems to explore the complex dynamics of interpersonal relationships, in the end love is as about as rational as a dog with a bone.

One of the best poems by Margaret Atwood......
