STORM by KATHLEEN JESSIE RAINE

Poet Analysis

First Line: GOD IN ME IS THE FURY ON THE BARE HEATH
Last Line: OUTSIDE THE BARRED DOORS OF MY GONERIL HEART.
Subject(s): GOD; HEARTS; STORMS;
God in me is the fury on the bare heath
God in me shakes the interior kingdom of my heaven.
God in me is the fire wherein I burn.

God in me swirling cloud and driving rain
God in me cries a lonely nameless bird
God in me beats my head upon a stone.

God in me the four elements of storm
Raging in the shelterless landscape of the mind
Outside the barred doors of my Goneril heart.
