Exmoor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACDA ABBA ABBA ABBA ABBA BBB BBB BBB

Lost aboard the roll of KodacA
olor that was to have superB
seded all need to rememberB
Somerset were a large flockA
-
of winter bedcover thickA
pelted sheep up on the moorC
a stile a church spireD
and an excess at PorlockA
-
of tenderly barbarous antiqueA
thatch in tandem with flowerB
beds relentlessly picturB
esque along every sidewalkA
-
a millwheel and a millbrookA
running down brown as beerB
Exempt from the disasterB
however as either too quickA
-
or too subtle to put on recA
ord were these the flutterB
of beside the brown waterB
with a butterfly like flickA
-
of fan wings a bright blackA
and yellow wagtail at DulverB
ton on the moor the flavorB
of the hot toasted teacakeA
-
drowning in melted butterB
we had along with a bus tourB
load of old people the driverB
-
's way of smothering every rB
in the wool of a West CountrB
y diphthong and as a SomerB
-
set man the warmth he had forB
the high wild heatherB
dank wold he drove us overB
