	Poems For Janus	by Rori O'Keeffe May 09, 2018	910 words	Read a sample
	Poems with dual meanings are some of the more satisfying examples of literature to read. Taking things that are unrelated, or nearly opposite in meaning, and then writing simultaneously about both, can bring out more facets of those two things. Perhaps because all is connected and language can be vague, any two things can be spoken of in the same words. There are seven short poems here. 18+.
