I don't think there is any important symbolism in this poem - it is a straightforward contemplation of what it means to a woman to have an abortion. Gwendolyn Brooks sums up the idea of the poem in her line: 'abortions will not let you forget'. You could call it symbolism when she speaks of the memory of her aborted children as being 'dim' (they are dim because she only half-remembers them) - but I would say that this description is as literally true as language ever is. A poem doesn't need to have symbols - many of the best ones don't.
"The Bean-Eaters" by Gwendolyn Brooks is about an elderly couple and the lifestyle they live. It is written in the contemporary or modern style, meaning that it lacks literary devices and uses plain simple speech to deliver its message. The poem does not actually describe the couple's lifestyle but explains it through the plain food, dinnerware, the couples tired reminisces, and even the language used by Brooks.
The poem seems like it is about someone trying to find a safe place in the hectic world. Seeing as to how her poems are about black oppression before, i'd guess its about a African American trying to escape the torture whites had put them through.
The poem is teaches us how one must not dwell in the past, but move on to the next day. It shows how many (even ourselves) can put us down, but we can't give up that easily or always be sad because there will always be another day (embracing everyday and moving on) (another chance).

Until this year, I had not read Gwendolyn Brooks beyond a few anthologized poems, most notably and ubiquitously, “We Real Cool.” This particular poem has such a breezy voice, I mistook this for the tone of Brooks’ poems in general; rather, the poem is indicative of her work in a different way: she is a master of creating tone that reflects each poem’s characters.
"Gwendolyn Brooks Home" utilizes imagery to vividly depict the setting and emotional depth of the poem. The use of repetition in the poem creates a sense of rhythm and emphasis on the themes of home and belonging. Additionally, the poem employs symbolism to explore the complexities of identity and family relationships.

"The Crazy Woman" is a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks that explores themes of isolation, mental health, and societal expectations. The speaker in the poem describes a woman who chooses to live on the outskirts of society, embracing her madness as a form of liberation from societal constraints. Brooks uses vivid imagery and a strong narrative voice to capture the complexities of the woman's unconventional existence.
The theme of "Home" by Gwendolyn Brooks revolves around the idea of displacement and the search for a sense of belonging. The poem explores the longing for a place to call home and the challenges faced by those who feel disconnected from their roots and culture.
