Wadhurst Park; An Exiles Recollections Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK L| Wadhurst Park exists a place out of time | A |
| A singular house atop stepped green terraces encompassed by wooded Sussex hills | B |
| Warm magical summer evenings amber lights streaming through sheets of crystal onto tall Moorish columns and tented canopy | C |
| The murmur of dinner guest conversations from the drawing room | D |
| Tiny tea lights glinting in the vastness of the orangery reflected in cool marble floors | E |
| Shadowy secret places Bright sunlit skies refracted in an ornamental pond where orfe dart neath green lily pads | F |
| Silver birch and willow draping fragile fingers against vaulted roofs | G |
| Whilst older denizens tower over remnants of a Gothic past | H |
| Walled gardens somnolent with the lazy hum of insects over fallen fruit | I |
| The tinkle of water tumbling from the leaden lips of a Roman God like voices of faery | J |
| And far away deer grazing by a lake and all about and farther yet the woods and pastures of England | K |

Poet's note: I worked at wadhurst park as a houseman. It was such a beautiful place I never forgot my time there and it holds a magical memory for me. I wanted to portray my feelings of nostalgia and loss of the time and place to me.
