#poem #poetry #poemreading A reading of my poem "Rain." It’s raining today. It’s a cold, dark, damp, miserable day out. It seems that it rains almost every day in New York. Now, I get that rain is important. I get that it waters the grass, the plants, the trees, and replenishes the oceans, lakes, and rivers, but still; it sucks when it rains almost constantly. Constant showers, constant downpours, constant gusts of wind and rain; it gets on your nerves after a while. Not only that, but it’s really unusual to see occur in New York so often. From what I remember when I was younger, it never rained so often. There would be the occasional shower here and there, but it wasn’t an almost daily or weekly occurrence. And why would it? This isn’t the South or the Midwest where it’s humid a lot of the time or where the weather is dynamic a lot of the time. No! This is New York. This is the East Coast. The weather is supposed to be stable. It’s supposed to be temperate. To see rain almost every single day or week makes me think that I stepped into the Twilight Zone to a universe where New York has the weather of Seattle. I don’t know why the weather is like this for sure, but I hypothesize it has something to do with climate change. I believe that the exuberant emission of greenhouse gases is dynamically changing the weather patterns in New York to the point where it’s similar to Washington State or Florida weather where it rains almost constantly.

#analysis #poetry #writing an analysis of my poem "rain" JAIME DAVID (reflection/analysis): Looking back on this poem… I feel like this was me just venting in a poetic way—but also trying to make sense of something bigger. The weather had changed, and it was frustrating, but also kind of eerie. It’s written in prose, but it has rhythm. There’s repetition—“constant showers, constant downpours”—and you can hear the tension building in the way I stack those lines. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but that build-up mirrors the emotional fatigue of seeing gray skies every day. There’s a lot of contrast too: memory vs. present, stability vs. chaos, what New York used to be vs. what it was becoming. And that’s not just about weather—it’s about identity. Like the city I thought I knew was shifting under my feet. JAIME DAVID (societal connection): Now, the part that stands out most to me now is the mention of climate change. This was 2019, but even back then, I ...
