Answer:
The Ball Poem written by John Berryman is about a young innocent boy who has lost his ball and seems to be depressed over the loss. The ball here symbolizes the things which we love but lose.
According to the poet, it will be of no use to give him a new ball because the boy loved his ball and has a very deep emotional attachment and memories associated with it. Hence money cannot buy it. The poet thinks that he may be sad at the moment but he is also learning the lesson of life. He is learning to bear the loss and move on.
The poem is written in a single stanza. However we will try breaking the poem into parts in order to go through the words and beyond the words. We will also discuss meanings of difficult words.
