Initial Response Initially, this poem seems to be about
underlying feelings of love.

see the eyes of the person she doesn't love and the blue sky.

rhyme. The figurative language helped the poem develop a mood.

Meaning The poem is about the author confessing her
love by saying that she's not in love. Publication The poem should go into magazine 3 because it is about a woman who is infatuated by someone but says she doesn't love them. The first two lines of the poem really show that this poem is about infatuation because the author says that "I do not love thee!... And yet when thou art absent I am sad."
