The Rabbit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBDB EFGH IHIH JHKL MNON PQRS TUVUHe Was a good carrot munching animal | A |
my friend's father sold him to me | B |
for much bargains and some thousand naira | C |
Like a slave struggling for fetters free | B |
- | |
- | |
There in a cage I brought him home | D |
but times went by and we turned family | B |
Nights and every morning i'd rome | D |
Rome miles for his cut of green barley | B |
- | |
- | |
and eager the wakeful bunny'd twirl | E |
His nose like a toothless aged woman | F |
Before the bite of his fresh meal | G |
pure pious slow clean and hale | H |
- | |
- | |
like a virgin maid before a mirror frame | I |
From the head down to his cottontail | H |
he'd groomed himself party ready the same | I |
His world his imaginations the quiet lay | H |
- | |
- | |
his straight antenna like ears the black glowing eyes | J |
his humane heart loneliness his humble soul | H |
Lavish me times kneeing by his side | K |
and made my secrets known to his earlobe | L |
- | |
- | |
but there was nothing else i had | M |
than to let him go and tell him bye | N |
like locked grain of sand from the hand | O |
than to cry and cry and cry | N |
- | |
- | |
Than to yield to my mother's solace | P |
raising me up in her dearing cheer | Q |
On a morning I walked to his cage | R |
That I could not find him there | S |
- | |
- | |
But behind his death was a foe | T |
My brother's mad dog who'd bite | U |
Ate him up and took to his toes | V |
In the middle of the night | U |
