Complaint Of A Poet Manqué Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABCD EFGAGHIJGGJWe 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 |
