Adrienne Rich

"Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on
Regardless of prediction."

- 'Storm Warnings' by Adrienne Rich

In this poem, Rich uses the metaphor of a storm to represent change and its unpredictability, its inevitability, but also the inevitable and unstoppable nature of human emotions. We can attempt to control or predict our emotions, as we attempt to with the weather, but it is futile - the storms in our heart are as unstoppable as those in the sky overhead.
