Freshly squeezed, child pressed it is mocking bird calls attention to the concealed lands of misuse surround the oil presses vintage wines go uncorked concealed under tresses. Oils of plenty and seeds so squeezed pleasantries of thanksgiving crosses seas Mime the word about solution bearers "wind up the torques", call the oil seed snarers. A quality of yield is so distilled grapes of wrath collect in fields freshly squeezed or vintage blended life is the essence and the oil work bears triumph after toil and the presses must be fed... Is there a price on age for the child run press? mockingbird appeals to our attention on lush cherubin picks of olive peels oil processions corked and sealed as thanksgiving odors wafts o'er seas hands so small..thoughtfully squeeze.

I liked your surrealistic approach. I Enjoyed the kaleidoscope of imagery in itself. I understood the poem as having the central theme of exploitation via the use of child labor back in the 20's perhaps when such was allowed or perhaps at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution when children were routinely used in the work force. Be it as it may, and it may well be otherwise, I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing. God bless. |

is that where the expression "baby oil" comes from. Whatever the reason you raised my consciousness with this write. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Radrook, yes child labor it is...and there was an afterthought about how it has 'progressed' because it hasn't ended at all... Kethry very clever..I like the pun  |
