The Theft Poem deals with the theme of theft but also has a sexual element. In the first stanza, "midnight" and "moon" have romantic connotations, as does "companion" which also has sexual connotations. Theft is also a disturbing topic as most of us consider theft to be immoral, which means we don't care what is right or wrong. This theory is also proven when the poet writes, “Part of the thrill was knowing that the children cried in the morning.” He is not amoral, as he knows the difference between right and wrong, "a fierce thrill" that suggests a pain in the stomach. This is symbolic for the guilt he feels. Overall, the main themes of each of these poems show disturbing aspects of human nature such as theft and revenge. Each poem is structured differently. First, Stealing begins and ends with a rhetorical question, to give shape to the poem. In Before You Were Mine, the poem ends by saying “before you were mine,” which also gives it shape. All poems have four or five stanzas, which structures the poem as most stanzas have the same number
