The poem Punishment in Kindergarten begins with the phrase “today the world is a little more my own”. The lines are deep as they depict that a past event might have occurred in which the poet would have felt all alone and helpless.
The poet then narrates her story of childhood when she was scolded by her teacher for remaining alone and separate from other students on a picnic. The poet was a sensitive person and hence she was deeply hurt by the harsh words of the teachers and the funny faces of students around her. However, now she is grown up and is not alone as she was then.
