Flight Of Stairs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEF GHIJ KLMNO P| Stairs fly as straight as hawks | A |
| Or else in spirals curve out of curve pausing | B |
| At a ledge to poise their wings before relaunching | B |
| Stairs sway at the height of their flight | C |
| Like a melody in Tristan | D |
| Or swoop to the ground with glad spread of their feathers | E |
| Before they close them | F |
| - | |
| They curiously investigate | G |
| The shells of buildings | H |
| A hollow core | I |
| Shell in a shell | J |
| - | |
| Useless to produce their path to infinity | K |
| Or turn it to a moral symbol | L |
| For their flight is ambiguous upwards or downwards as you please | M |
| Their fountain is frozen | N |
| Their concertina is silent | O |
