I liked CS's poem, but I didn’t go deeply into it. A very scating critic may be right but may simply be envy. Simic seems to have a facility of seeing unusual images in every day objects, like the watermelons as green Buddhas.
Interesting poem about Facebook.

"Juncos" - Molly Brodak; There Is Such A Thing... https://www.versedaily.org/2021/thereissuchathing.shtml
Criptic poem, also about faces. In Portuguese "juncos" means simply "reeds".But probably the poet doesn't know that.

"Ripe strawberries, strawberries ripe!" - Florence Stevenson; Ripe strawberries, strawberries ripe!... https://www.lieder.net/lieder/get_te...?TextId=130131
Interesting poem that seems to be part of a musical about a dark episode in English History:the comdenation and execution of the young Jane Gray who reigned as Queen of Britain during nine days, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Jane_Grey. As you probably remember from school, Queen Mary who comdened Jane as traitor, was in her turn comdened and executed by her cousin Elisabeth, who then became Elisabeth l. The song itself maybe refers to the things that were sold during the executions.

Interesting, but lol, I expected a poem about a broken backbone as "coluna" in Portuguese and maybe also in Spanish is the name of the backbone. Well, maybe it is. I found the Lorca poem the poem refers to:https://www.letras.mus.br/camaron-de...1/english.html
