BARTER "Barter" is a thought-provoking poem that explores the concept of exchange and the interconnectedness of various roles in society. The use of dialogue between different characters adds a sense of immediacy and personal connection to the poem's themes. The poem introduces us to a series of exchanges, where each person offers something unique and seeks something in return. The metaphoric language, such as grasping a rose and embracing a thorn, tasting fruit while enduring mud, and exchanging nectar and ambrosia for diamonds and jet, adds depth and richness to the poem's imagery. The poet touches upon the idea of reciprocal relationships, emphasizing the give-and-take nature of interactions. This notion is particularly highlighted in the concluding line, where the exchange of pain and prosperity is presented as an integral part of romantic relationships. Overall, "Barter" explores the complexities of transactions beyond mere material goods, delving into the realm of emotions, experiences, and challenges. The poem invites readers to reflect on the dynamics of exchange in various aspects of life and the delicate balance between sacrifice and reward. BIO Duane Vorhees is an American poet in Thailand.
