Okay so the chick from February is seriously unhappy, and that's what sets the theme. She actually really bugs me. The way she speaks to the cat makes her sound angry after the first few lines of the poem. At the end, she evens yells "Off my face!" at it. She just seems bitter about everything, and this attitude gives the poem a bitter, harsh feel. I understand why she's all angry, but she needs a chill pill. Anyway, the author creates the tone of the poem through her harsh diction and the punctuation she uses throughout the poem. Without those two, the point of the poem would be lost to the reader. How would we know she's bitter because she's all alone in the month of love?
