Grotesque Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGABBHIJKLWhy 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 |
