Complaint Of A Poet Manqué Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABCD EFGAGHIJGGJ| We judge by appearance merely | A |
| If I can't think strangely I can at least look queerly | A |
| So I grew the hair so long on my head | B |
| That my mother wouldn't know me | A |
| Till a woman in a night club said | B |
| As I was passing by | C |
| 'Hullo here comes Salome ' | D |
| - | |
| I looked in the dirty gilt edged glass | E |
| And oh Salome there I was | F |
| Positively jewelled half a vampire | G |
| With the soul in my eyes hanging dizzily | A |
| Like the gatherer of proverbial samphire | G |
| Over the brink of the crag of sense | H |
| Looking down from perilous eminence | I |
| Into a gulf of windy night | J |
| And there's straw in my tempestuous hair | G |
| And I'm not a poet but never despair | G |
| I'll madly live the poems I shall never write | J |
Aldous Huxley
