I think its really clever how she used an onion to describe what love is? but what is love is it caring for someone/or maybe just to hang round with people but carol ann-duffy has describe love as some ways lethal as it could be and she donst want to be tradtional she wants to be unique and that is what she is.

I love this poem. It so very clever in the way Carol Ann connects characteristics of an onion to the intensity of love. I had booked to see Carolyn at Edinburgh Book Festival last summer but was unfortunately taken into hospital. I hope she will be there this year so I can catch up.

really like the poem, showing the metaphorical onion breaking the cliché borders of 'satin hearts' and 'red roses'
