("Lovely Hearts", Cope)
"Can someone make my simple wish come true?"
This entire poem is centered on the irony of this phrase at the end of every line. Each stanza brings a new desperate seeker of love. All of the characters yearn for life's simple call of love, yet they all reject fate and try to create the perfect match rather then find the perfect match. These characters all have similar characteristic of fear and laziness despite their different sexual orientations and backgrounds. The chance of finding these specific lovers is slim, even with an ironic new paper ad. This poem reflects the natural instinct to hope that issues and desires will just appear without much work. This laziness and lack of confidence plagues our world, and has ruined the concept of love. Love is not meant to be given to us through a newspaper, rather love is to discovered by sharing a newspaper.
