Analysis of You've Left Without Notice



It feels different here without you.
It is the people that make the place.
Perhaps though, it is the place that makes the people.

All I truly know
is that with each corner I turn
my heart sinks
when I don’t see your smiling face.

Mwalimu

My name is Theresa, I love to write and read poetry. My favourite poet is Billy Collins. I am mainly inspired to write by everyday happenings or feelings, and I often write with some humour or sarcasm. My travel experiences have also influenced my writing, some of my favourite places to travel have been Cuba, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa. I was born in Canada but I am now living and teaching in the Middle East. Please feel free to leave comments or suggestions on any of my poems. more…
