Poem about love that only touched her and has not been fulfilled. Funny how
american readers can find God everywhere. Also here in something more
physical than
most of others.

I think this is a poem about how she thinks that love is pointless. She
dreams of this wonderful man coming into her life, but tricks her into
sleeping with him before marriage (which is against her beliefs) and so God
comes in and punishes her and whatnot. And he leaves her, but promises to
return. He never does, and she forgets him. When she says she should have
loved a thunderbird, I think she is saying she should have loved someone
who wouldn't leave her. But keep in mind she believes it is all a dream,
either that or this is how she thinks it will go when she falls in love.

I think its about her dad, and how he left her when he died.

I think this poem is talking about happiness, she doesnt believe that
happiness exists. I believe its talking about being in a deep depression.
The part where she is speaking about God i believe shes saying she doesnt
believe in God or religion anymore because its seems impossible to find
happiness.

I am analyzing this in class and I think this is one of my favorite poems
of all time. It just really makes sense. I understand the feeling behind it
and they way she wrote it is everything I've wanted to say but didn't know
how. Really interesting.

I think she is being ironic about the thunderbird since the actual species
(from Australia) is flightless.

Especially in that context (loss of faith) the Thunderbird reference is
even more wonderful...I don't think she's really referring to native
american legend, but instead the convertible car. The last stanza would be
about the comparative charm of materiality when compared to the
roller-coaster ride of faith, meaning, and deeper belief. I love this poem,
it's absolutely delicious...in a really disturbing way.

I agree. It does seem like it may have some connection with God and her
faith in him. Maybe so many bad things happened to her in her past, and God
was never there to help her, so she lost her belief in religion and she
felt as though she had the complete wrong perception of religion.

My students always think the obvious, that it is about a love affair that
went wrong. I think its about her passion for God and then her loss of
faith. Just and idea.
