Ode to an Onion - an art work by T Newfields
Onion

Ahh,
how your long, slender leaves
with waxy strands of green
curve down lazily
towards
a bulbous base.

Yes,
your olfactory overloads
of peppery, piquant pungence
prick my nostrils
with no sense of shame!

Exploring layer after layer
of your enigma
I wonder:
could philosophy be more zingy?
