Rainy Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOMPQMR STUM| The day is ruined The sky is drunk | A |
| Like false pearls little stumps | B |
| Of chopped up light lie around and reveal | C |
| A glimpse of streets a few clumps of houses | D |
| Everything else is rotten and devoured | E |
| By a black fog which like a wall | F |
| Falls down and is rotten And the rain | G |
| Crumbles like rubble in the grip thick gray | H |
| As though the whole contaminated darkness | I |
| Wanted at every moment to sink | J |
| Down in a swamp you see an auto flash | K |
| Like a strange drunken plant | L |
| The oldest whores come crawling | M |
| Along out of wet shadows tubercular toads | N |
| There goes one creeping by Over there a pig is being stabbed | O |
| The gushing rain wants to wipe out everything | M |
| But you are wandering through the waste lands | P |
| Your dress hangs heavy Your shoes are soaked | Q |
| Your eye is mad with greed and screaming | M |
| And this urges you on and you have no peace | R |
| Perhaps in the midst of dark fire | S |
| The devil himself appears in the form of a pig | T |
| Perhaps something completely horrible | U |
| Foolish brutal nasty is happening | M |
