Awkward Positions I wonder if this is all part of the plan. Will you treat me like this when I'm a married man? Starved for love. Starved for attention. You're putting me into an awkward position. Can I trust that in the future things will get better? Enough, enough, enough of this stormy weather. JamesLee December03 2002 |

Your poem is short and concise. At the same time, however, it displays a rather pressing interpretation problem: Who is being addressed? The ambiguity here adds a bit of spice to the poem. On the one hand the speaker could be addressing his own life circumstances or God or some other fate controlling figure. On the other hand the speaker could be addressing a future marriage partner. In any case I'll let you make fun of me if you wish for any lack of interpretive skill on my part. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Thank you Lady Death and Fracta for responding to this... I am expressing disappointment, frustration and anger towards a woman that at one time I believed I wanted to marry...but now I am taking a position that I was possibly wrong to consider her for marriage. James |
