Poem Essay

People think that the poem ''Learning to Dance in the Rain''doesn't really mean anything because it's short.It's actually a great poem.This is a good poem because it uses poetic devices,has good sound with rhyme and similes and personification.This poem uses some imagery but not a lot."Learning to Dance in the Rain" is also a great poem because it can send a message or a new perspective.
First, this poem has good sound.It uses rhyme,simile, and personification which are two important poetic devices.For example,it rhymes "disabled" with"unable".Also, a simile is used saying that life troubles are "like a storm".Lastly,personification is used saying that success, failure, and happiness all depend upon each other.Second,this poem is a good one but I think it could use more imagery.The only imagery in this poem is when it says"the troubles of the world fall on the head."and that's touch.I would like for the poet to just be more specific mostly about what things look like or feel like.
Lastly,this poem could send a message or a new perspective.To me, this poem is saying to try to make something good out of a bad situation and you can't just wait for your troubles to be gone.This poem could send a new perspective on life troubles.Most people think that when something bad happens, every thing else is ruined.This poem could actually change peoples' minds.
In conclusion,''Learning to Dance in the Rain'' is a great poem it sends a message and also makes you think differently.It uses the poetic devices of rhyme,simile,and personification.This poem should have more imagery to make it better.Also, it sends a message to readers.Lastly,I love this poem because it can really make you think and it's inspiring.
