Allusion. Does all poetry reference something, someone?

Can we all agree on the reference? Or is poetry more like the onion -- whole. Concentric circles wrapping around an allusive center. Of course, many think poetry elusive.


Moving on from the whole onion, are leeks, in particular, allusive? By their inherent grit, elusive.

  1. Ten Onions

    Elevated affluvia
    a kind of channel by the norm

    oops a turn left down
    the celebrated score

    The wandering bowler
    searches for a lane

    Just the joy of striking
    against circumstance

    A hard surface
    posing as an arm
