Rain By Shel Silverstein I opened my eyes And looked up at the rain, And it dripped in my head And flowed into my brain, And all that I hear as I lie in my bed Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head. I step very softly, I walk very slow, I can't do a handstand-- I might overflow, So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-- I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
Rain
Poetic devices- end rhyme (slow and overflow) and symbolism (rain can symbolize other things that mess with your head).
I like this poem because I like how it rhymes and I like the rhythm to it. I like the subject about it too. I think Shel Silverstein is a really good poet and I enjoy reading his poetry. You can find this poem in Where the Sidewalk Ends.
