Poem interpretation

 Determine the basic design of the poem by considering the who, what, when, where, and why of the dramatic situation.

        *

          What is being dramatized? What conflicts or themes does the poem present, address, or question? The title implies that there are two people in a conflict maybe the speaker loves someone but can't be with them or feels they arent good enough, but she is just so beautiful 
        *

          Who is the speaker? Define and describe the speaker and his/her voice. What does the speaker say? Who is the audience? Are other characters involved?
        * The Speaker is a man who is in love with someone. They that they are not good enough to love this person and he is telling this person why they can't be together. 

          What happens in the poem? Consider the plot or basic design of the action. How are the dramatized conflicts or themes introduced, sustained, resolved, etc.?
        *He is telling her they cant be together anymore and she is upset, "Your eyes are spikes". He doesn't want to but he feels he doesn't deserve her

          When does the action occur? What is the date and/or time of day?
        * The action occurs in the last two stanzas.... not sure what time of day

          Where is the speaker? Describe the physical location of the dramatic moment.
        *They could be in a forest or anywhere not too sure


          Why does the speaker feel compelled to speak at this moment? What is his/her motivation? The speaker needs to let go of his feelings for her, he doesn't want to but he doesn't deserve her and needs to let her go if he really loves her
