Title: the white fires of venus is a title meant to intrigue. venus is a different world, and anything that comes from there would draw peoples attention. already fires will draw peoples attention, but a white fire from venus will hook some readers who are just passing by.

paraphrase: this poem is about a guy struggling with loneliness and depression. he feels ike he is on another planet and people are staring at him like he is different.

Connotation: this poem uses the fact that people look at other planets like their weird. he feels weird, different, isolated like a other planet. people stare at him as if he were another planet and for away from their own lives.

attitude: the authors attitude is a very sad, depressing, lonely tone. he writes the poem like he is searching for someone out there. for the last paragraph the author switches to slightly more upbeat. thankful for what he had.
