The Blue Scarf Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAIAJKCLDMAI N O

Pale with the blue of high zeniths shimmered over with silver brocadedA
In smooth running patterns a soft stuff with dark knotted fringesB
it lies thereC
Warm from a woman's soft shoulders and my fingers close on it caressingD
Where is she the woman who wore it The scent of her lingers and drugs meE
A languor fire shotted runs through me and I crush the scarf downF
on my faceG
And gulp in the warmth and the blueness and my eyes swimH
in cool tinted heavensI
Around me are columns of marble and a diapered sun flickered pavementA
Rose leaves blow and patter against it Below the stone steps a lute tinklesI
A jar of green jade throws its shadow half over the floor A big belliedA
Frog hops through the sunlight and plops in the gold bubbled water of a basinJ
Sunk in the black and white marble The west wind has lifted a scarfK
On the seat close beside me the blue of it is a violent outrage of colourC
She draws it more closely about her and it ripples beneathL
her slight stirringD
Her kisses are sharp buds of fire and I burn back against her a jewelM
Hard and white a stalked flaming flower till I break toA
a handful of cindersI
And open my eyes to the scarf shining blue in the afternoon sunshineN
-
How loud clocks can tick when a room is empty and one is aloneO
