Preface To A Twenty Volume Suicide Note Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE F GHIJ K LHMNO P| Lately I've become accustomed to the way | A |
| The ground opens up and envelopes me | B |
| Each time I go out to walk the dog | C |
| Or the broad edged silly music the wind | D |
| Makes when I run for a bus | E |
| - | |
| Things have come to that | F |
| - | |
| And now each night I count the stars | G |
| And each night I get the same number | H |
| And when they will not come to be counted | I |
| I count the holes they leave | J |
| - | |
| Nobody sings anymore | K |
| - | |
| And then last night I tiptoed up | L |
| To my daughter's room and heard her | H |
| Talking to someone and when I opened | M |
| The door there was no one there | N |
| Only she on her knees peeking into | O |
| - | |
| Her own clasped hands | P |
