Abstract

The poem "love poem as wide as the sky" explores a playful interaction between the speaker and the sun, using the game of eye-spy to observe lovers by Dublin’s edge. The sun selects couples who are described as hungry and shameless, while the speaker engages in a subtle, imaginative dialogue about a lobster, symbolizing desire and connection. The poem reflects themes of observation, desire, and the natural world within an urban setting. [Extracted from the article]
