Lonely Hearts

This was an interesting poem is was laid out much like a singles add in a newspaper. Rather than having a single speaker for this poem there are many. They all seek one thing... for their wishes to come true. Some seem fed up with their lifestyle and desire a change, some crave acceptance. All lonely in North London craving someone to call their own. It's a sad poem, as if the reader has pity on them. I was also thinking that this may be from the perspective of the speaker who is reading these adds, when reading them the speaker is taking us through what they see. Some the reader sees pity, but it takes a twist as if the reader is mocking some of the writers, deeming the desperate. Just a thought....
