I Taught Myself To Live Simply Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDDAFAGHIDJK| I taught myself to live simply and wisely | A |
| to look at the sky and pray to God | B |
| and to wander long before evening | C |
| to tire my superfluous worries | D |
| When the burdocks rustle in the ravine | E |
| and the yellow red rowanberry cluster droops | D |
| I compose happy verses | D |
| about life's decay decay and beauty | A |
| I come back The fluffy cat | F |
| licks my palm purrs so sweetly | A |
| and the fire flares bright | G |
| on the saw mill turret by the lake | H |
| Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof | I |
| occasionally breaks the silence | D |
| If you knock on my door | J |
| I may not even hear | K |
