Eleven O'clock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGAHIJKL| The front door was hard and heavy | A |
| It shut behind me on the house of ghosts | B |
| I flattened my feet on the pavement | C |
| To feel it solid under me | A |
| I ran my hand along the railings | D |
| And shook them | E |
| And pressed their pointed bars | F |
| Into my palms | G |
| The hurt of it reassured me | A |
| And I did it again and again | H |
| Until they were bruised | I |
| When I woke in the night | J |
| I laughed to find them aching | K |
| For only living flesh can suffer | L |
