    The document analyzes the poetic devices used in the poem "Voice of Rain". It identifies personification in giving voice to rain, a metaphor comparing rain to an earth poem, and hyperbole in describing the sea as bottomless. A paradox is noted in rain giving back life to its origin. Parallelism is seen between rain and a poet's song, and imagery is created through mental pictures of softly falling showers, rain rising from the land and descending to wash away drought.

    VOICE OF RAIN

    Poetic Devices
    1) Personification (human attributes lent to inanimate objects)- voice lent to rain
    2) Metaphor (implied comparison)- “I am the Poem of Earth”
    3) Hyperbole (exaggeration for effect)- ‘bottomless sea’
    4) Paradox (a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and
    yet is perhaps true)- “I give back life to my own origin”
    5) Parallelism (connection and similarity)- between rain and song of a poet (last two lines)
    6) Imagery (mental pictures)- ‘soft falling shower’, ‘I rise impalpable out of the land…’,
    ‘descend to lave the droughts…'
