@DreamOfSunrise yeah, you do. unless your being sarcastic, which i hope you are. did google not occur to you? just type in john donne flea and loads of interpretations come up.

Not bad, but I think you could learn from the theatricality of my version. Give it some more oomph! ;)

so persuasive! I could have fallen for that... Nawwww..... I had my shit on lock! Hahahah..... Awesome poem, especially considering the it was the early 1600's!

The whole poem is about him trying to convince a girl to sleep with him. The speaker is comparing the girl's loss of virginity to the insignificance of the flea, and implies that the flea sucking the girl's blood is actually a lot more serious (however insignificant still) and almost intimate than if they were to have sex. Look out for the sexual connotations, puns and references! By the end of the poem, she kills the flea and he doesn't get laid. Gutted.
