Read the following poem and answer the questions :
                    HOME IS SO SAD
 

Home is so sad. It stays as it was left, Shaped to the comfort of the last to go As if to win them back. Instead, bereft of anyone to please, it withers so, Having no heart to put aside the theft.
And turn again to what is started as, A joyous shot at how things ought to be, Long fallen wide. You can see how it was : Look at the pictures and the cutlery. The music in the piano stool. That Vase.
Why is the 'home' 'Sad'?

    Eduncle Best Answer

    The speaker in the poem describes a home with a personality portraying it as a place of loneliness and longing after its inhabitants have long deserted their dwellings. No longer is home thought of as sweet or warm. Even without the family, the home is yearning and waiting for the family to return.
