Poppies in July - Sylvia Plath “Poppies in July” is a short poem written in free verse. Its fifteen lines are divided into eight stanzas.

It evokes a pastoral landscape and suggests happiness‚ if not joy or passion. The title is ironic‚ however‚ because the poem is not a hymn to nature but a hallucinatory projection of the landscape

The irony seems odd‚ considering flowers are generally used to convey a light

It is common for people to question death and what comes after death‚ especially if that person is surrounded by death or on the verge of death themselves
