Analysis of The Rhythm of the Rain

Jaelynn Hirrill 2010 (Albuquerque New Mexico)



The rain pours down,
Dancing all around,
Beating softly on the ground.
The sun shines through,
What can I do -
To stare up at a sky so clear and blue?
The snow illuminates the night,
The ground shining so bright,
A ground covered in solid, straight, pure white.
The weather comes and goes,
Till we reach equilibrium,
A beauty that is shown,
When I see this pretty rhythm.

About this poem

Much like nature's beauty, I wrote this poem about nature. However, I wanted it to have an underlying meaning symbolized within that not many besides myself would pick up on. It is also meant to represent bipolar, seeing as people who suffer from bipolar also struggle to keep their feelings at bay, which causes unjustified emotions - often bad - to unleash.

Jaelynn Hirrill

My name is Jaelynn but my family still calls me my childhood nickname, JP. I was 10 years old and had to write a poem for my 5th grade Honors English class. I am very antipodal and, as I was born on Earth Day in 2010, I love all of Nature and the beauty you can see all around you. I also love astrology and Space, including everything in-between. more…
