JIK+Raining+in+Love

I think that Richard Bragutigan wrote this poem to poke a little fun at the whole concept of love. The poem shows how love just doesn’t happen. With a snap of your fingers your life can’t turn into a hallmark card or a storybook. The poem shows love can be just be plain awkward. This poem shows that you might feel awkward but everyone else can and does too. This poem speaks to a broad audience because everyone has been in this situation in their life one time or another.This poem can definitely relate to our everyday life as a high scholar. I think the overall purpose of the poem was just to point out that we all have been in the awkward stage of love.

Well done, Jenna. You start with a strong topic sentence (but include the poem's title next time!) and build solid supporting sentences throughout the paragraph. This is a great poem - thanks for introducing it to me.
