How Effective is the poem’s title?

The title of the poem “World, in Hounding Me” seems to express the writer’s annoyance for the world. Hounding means “to pursue relentlessly”, the writer must have felt prosecuted by the world if she chose to use this word. The speaker’s attitude towards the world can be seen in the title of the poem. She felt annoyed and irritated by the world, when the world appreciated her outside appearance more than her inner beauty. I think the author’s attitude towards the world is similar to mine, because I will become frustrated and irritated when the world only cares about our outside beauty, and not our inner beauty. The title of the poem is pretty effective in conveying the writer’s feelings towards the world.
