Flight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJ KLMNOPQRSTUMVBWXYZA2 TB2C2D2IU| Outside my window the wasps | A |
| are making their slow circle | B |
| dizzy flights of forage and return | C |
| hovering among azaleas | D |
| that bob in a sluggish breeze | E |
| this humid sun torn morning | F |
| - | |
| Yesterday my wife held me here | G |
| as I thrashed and moaned her hand | H |
| in my foaming mouth and my son | I |
| saw what he was warned he might | J |
| - | |
| Last night dreams stormed my brain | K |
| in thick swirls of shame and fear | L |
| Behind a white garage a locked shed | M |
| full of wide eyed dolls burned | N |
| yellow smoke boiling up in huge clumps | O |
| as I watched feet nailed to the ground | P |
| In dining cars white table cloths | Q |
| unfolded wings and flew like gulls | R |
| An old German in a green Homburg | S |
| sang lieder Mein Herz ist m de | T |
| In a garden in Pasadena my father | U |
| posed in Navy whites while overhead | M |
| silver dirigibles moved like great whales | V |
| And in the narrowing tunnel | B |
| of the dream s end I flew down | W |
| onto the iron red road | X |
| of my grandfather s farm | Y |
| There was a white rail fence | Z |
| In the green meadow beyond | A2 |
| a small boy walked toward me | T |
| His smile was the moon s rim | B2 |
| Across his egg shell eyes | C2 |
| ran scenes from my future life | D2 |
| and he embraced me like a son | I |
| or father or my lost brother | U |
