I have exactly (and not exceeding) zero skill at figuring these things out. So... care to explain? :P

Heya Dave. Sorry about the non-commentingness. I like the poetry, it's pretty, but I'm much too stupid for analysis. I'm not big on subtlety, as you may have noticed. Love you. Keep writing.

well i can explain the skating thing.....no computer sound!

as for mr. poetry, i also know nothing about poetry. i can do ok with all the shakespeare type stuff but i've never really studied modern poetry (other than with doherty in gr 10 but i had no idea what she was talking about....if you didn't think exactly like her it was hard to) so i'm stupid too.

why is it called names?

and people don't comment on the important stuff on my blog either

Did anyone see my 13 posts on grammar? Going to guess it's a bit about people leaving, which sucks. I agree about leaving sucking. I could say some very rude things about sucking, Ed has a horrible effect on me. I will refrain, your imaginations are probably better than anything I could come up with.

I too am a poor interpreter of poetry, but I'll take a wild stap.

The beginning kindof threw me, because it seems to suggest that "she" should go home, while at the same time, it seems to warn her away ("...she may go nowhere".) I'm inclined to think that the "home" is a place of safety, but also one of suffocation. So it becomes necessary for her to escape and find something better. Again though, I get alittle confused about "following those bright eyed/and bushy tailed..." Is this some sort of lucky rabbit? If she wants to go out and learn to survive, why is she "following" something? I'm not making fun, I'm honestly interested. To summarize, my interpretation is that home for the protagonist is a place where she may be comfortable and safe, but also a place which isn't right for her. So she must take a risk, go out and see the world, in search for... again, I'm not sure.

Well, that was my best effort. What do you think, was I close?
