Pomegranate 1908
February 28, 2010
Strange fruit hanging
from a pomegranate tree,
Torn open
like lightning escaping from the clouds,
Torn up
with darkness making the sky cry,
Torn down
like a broken dream.

i liked so much how you went from torn open to up to down. and don't feel like you have to explain yourself so much. the first time i read it was before i read your comments and it was cool.
The first line is inspired by an old jazz song called "Strange Fruit" sung by Billie Holiday. It's about racism.
