The Pike Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHA CIJAKALMN| In the brown water | A |
| Thick and silver sheened in the sunshine | B |
| Liquid and cool in the shade of the reeds | C |
| A pike dozed | D |
| Lost among the shadows of stems | E |
| He lay unnoticed | F |
| Suddenly he flicked his tail | G |
| And a green and copper brightness | H |
| Ran under the water | A |
| - | |
| Out from under the reeds | C |
| Came the olive green light | I |
| And orange flashed up | J |
| Through the sun thickened water | A |
| So the fish passed across the pool | K |
| Green and copper | A |
| A darkness and a gleam | L |
| And the blurred reflections of the willows on the opposite bank | M |
| Received it | N |
