    A Root Out of Dry Ground (partI)

    Out of the ground
    comes a root that has no form-
    it has no beauty
    in which one can adore-

    It was created
    to live in obscurity
    and its color has faded
    which takes away its delicacy

    While springing-up into this world
    this root grew tall
    and sprouted-as it swirled

    and with noone around
    to nourish it with care,
    this root still prospered
    in spite of despair

    abused and neglected
    it never nestled
    nor was it accepted-
    and although it carries a sound
    still,
    it remains,
    a root,
    out of dry ground.

    Good use of symbolism in this poem! I like it.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
