The title adds emphasis to the poem telling the reader this poem is somewhat of a news add/dating service. After a first read I thought this poem captured many different sorts of people all searching for different satisfactions. Each stanza relates a completely different attitude with different interest. The poem “Lonely Hearts” consists mainly of question marks. Cope, the author, entertains the reader with a Libran, which is a constellation of sorts reflecting the inner self to as Executive. Cope makes sure she encompasses the entire spectrum of North London.
However, I don’t think that is Wendy Copes message in her poem the idea of there are different and lonely people who despite their differences all crave affection. Rather, I think she strives to capture the essence of North London. All of the people come from all different walks of life and the all desperately want to find company either for “touring” or lasting companionship. I liked how the author moved from many individuals to a broader idea. She held my attention and allowed me to relate with North London.
