Philip Larkin "This Be the Verse"

This poetry reminded me so much of my self when I was in my teenage ages. It perfectly explains the relationship between a teenager and his/her parent. In this poetry Philip Larkin presents the parents in the eyes of a teenager as very old-fashioned people. That is exactly what I always thought of my parents when I was 15 or 16 years old. In those ages we feel that our parents do not really understand us and they are guilty for everything that happens in our life. It is good to have someone to blame, huh???
