Poppies in October by Sylvia

The poem offers insight into Plath's emotional state.  The flowers represent splashes of vibrancy and life, addressed by the pale,exhausted and plaintive  narrator who pleas to God for the gift of death.  The petals of the poppy are arranged like the folds of the feminine n charming skirt. The poppy brings sleep and even death.  Yet, the cornflower offers healing.  hearing an inhuman call from nature
