Analysis of Sibling Love
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
Sibling love is unasked
Refreshing, never masked
Comes from the heart
E’en when apart
Does not fear or fret
Offers no real threat
Is sincere and so endears
Thrills us all with wholesome cheers.

About this poem
This poem was composed in early 2018 when the poet observed three of his grandchildren ages five, six, and seven at play hugging and embracing one another in gleeful spree, oblivious of their immediate surroundings, unhindered by the artificial constraints of an adult’s persona, unmasked in the raw, not culturally cooked, refreshingly zoned into the enchanting titillating pulsation of unpretentious nature.
