Ten ways of looking at Pomegranates
I
In my backyard,
the wind carries
pomegranate seeds.
II
Instead of an apple,
I pick a pomegranate.
I disobey my father.
III
At the Fantastic Feast,
I saw rubies, through the skin
of pomegranates.
IV
The sphere of the pomegranate
taught me,
that maybe the world wasn’t flat.
V
Pomegranates, fill
my heart
with their seeds.
VI
O pomegranates,
your rich red eyes
guide me.
VII
After thunder,
the shadows of pomegranates.
VIII
In Iran
in ancient times,
a pomegranate
was born.
IX
On the Greek Lip-Cup
Ca. 525-500 BC,
a lion and a bull,
eating pomegranates
