A storm is coming, Frank says.
A storm that will swallow the children,
and I will deliver them from the kingdom of pain.
I will deliver the children back to their doorsteps;
I'll send the monsters back to the underground.
I'll send them back to a place where no one else can see them,
except for me
because I am Donnie Darko
Mrs. Pomeroy: Who is Frank?
Donnie: He's a six foot tall bunny rabbit.

I like the poem too. It was in the deleted scenes. I get to write a paper on Donnie Darko for an English class. I just watched all of the deleted scenes with commentary off first, and then again with the director commentary on. I wanted to express what I thought the movie was about from my original thoughts and compare it with the director's intented meaning. The poem was deleted from the film because it gave away too much. The director wanted to portray Donnie as a kind of superhero-chosen-one-type guy and he wanted Frank to be "God's" messenger. The poem is really a key factor in coming to understand the undulating themes of the movie from the director's perspective. The directors motive for removing it was that he wanted the movie to mean different things for different people. Good stuff. Good times, yeah.
