"Lonely Hearts"

Who knows where it may lead once we've begun?

Can someone make my simple wish come true?

Do you live in North London?  Is it you?" (16-19).

In "Lonely Hearts" by Wendy Cope, five distinct speakers are prevalent throughout the five tercets.  The Villanelle format used in this poem contrasts the needs of each person, while still linking them each as a lonely heart looking for their love.  This is one of those poems where the more I read it, the less I get out of it.  Let's compile a list of things I noticed about the pattern, since this is the pattern section and it should help me figure something out.

I noticed that they all pointed out sexual orientation in their ad which could point to a diverse area.

Each wanted love, but each had their own distinct requirements.

All of the requirements were strict, but equally strange.

I found no correlations between the two repeated phrases and the speaker of that tercet.

The fourth speaker uses an alliteration - well done random ad or clever poetic person... I wonder?

The last speaker does not point out a gender preference, but rather their astrological sign.  They are the most distinct, yet have the most leniant requirements.
