The Onion Did Not Make Me Cry
And other poems for children and grown-ups
by Tom Melsen
Tom Melsen's poems move effortlessly between playful invention and emotional honesty, creating a world where the strange feels familiar and the ordinary becomes unforgettable.
The Onion Did Not Make Me Cry is a collection of more than sixty new poems by Tom Melsen, balancing absurd humor with quiet melancholy.
In these pages, mustaches become milestones, doors suffer existential crises, tigers fall in love, and even a stray hair in a bowl of soup can unfold into something strangely triumphant.
Melsen writes with equal affection for the ridiculous and the devastating, moving seamlessly between playful imagination and intimate confession. The result is a collection that is funny, strange, vulnerable, and unmistakably human.
These poems invite readers to laugh, reflect, and sometimes cry… though perhaps not because of the onion.
