Billow Tide, Ebb Tide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE CCCFFCHerculean waves pound the frail sea shore | A |
Smashing crashing against a rock bound bight | B |
Seagull songs drown in a fierce deafing roar | A |
Thunderous vast swells of a wondrous height | B |
Towering and exploding overhead | C |
Mercilessly and ruthlessly cruel | D |
Then collapsing randomly gone dispread | C |
Retreating homeward to Neptune's great pool | E |
- | |
- | |
But then the reposing saline ebb tide | C |
Its tempestuous fury set aside | C |
Abdicates silently bereft of word | C |
Leaving the bounty the wild ocean yields | F |
Discarded are jumbly flotsam filled fields | F |
And a seagull chorus can bis be heard | C |
