Poetic Analysis Draft 2

Ryan Purdy


The poem “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was written by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. In my opinion this poem is very inspiring because it made me want to help someone who was sad. I think that the poem is especially inspiring for sad viewers because it relates to the viewers because it is a sad poem that has a positive message for its viewers. The poem relates to sad readers to show them that things will get better.

The poem relates to it's sad viewers and gives them hope that it will get better through the lyrics. One line that shows this is “And the dreams that you dream of. Dreams really do come true”. This line shows that if they dream it will come true, this gives them hope and inspires the viewers. This line made me realize that we need to follow our dreams to become happier and a better person.

In the poem another line that inspires its viewers is "Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me". This line gives it's readers hope that things will get better because it shows that if you wish for things then the bad will be left behind you. I think the star is a metaphor for happiness and the clouds is for sad or bad things. The poem is trying to tell its viewers to wish and think of happy/better things and you will get past the sad and bad things.
