Grotesque Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGABBHIJKL| Why do the lilies goggle their tongues at me | A |
| When I pluck them | B |
| And writhe and twist | C |
| And strangle themselves against my fingers | D |
| So that I can hardly weave the garland | E |
| For your hair | F |
| Why do they shriek your name | G |
| And spit at me | A |
| When I would cluster them | B |
| Must I kill them | B |
| To make them lie still | H |
| And send you a wreath of lolling corpses | I |
| To turn putrid and soft | J |
| On your forehead | K |
| While you dance | L |
