 Lush Mellifluence 2006-07-31 . chapter 1I am currently leaving for college this August, and I can only imagine how its going to affect my mother.
I hope I interpreted the poem correctly... a parent watching their son grow up and leave, and wishing they would be always at their side.
If I have interpreted this poem correctly, then I have found it has truly captured the idea of losing someone.
A line that stuck out to me was:
Is it so wrong to abandon God?To blame him for the week he gave to you and took from me.
I found it interesting how since God was abandoned, "him" and "he" were not capitalized (into "Him" and "He") as hymns and psalms, which have not abandoned him/Him, would. Syntactical/grammatical rules broken and followed can do much to get a point across in poetry.
LOVELY.
