Kept Waiting! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH| White billows and huge waves block the river crossing | A |
| Wherever I go danger and difficulty whatever I do failure | B |
| Just as in my worldly career I wander and lose the road | C |
| So when I come to the river crossing I am stopped by contrary winds | D |
| Of fishes and prawns sodden in the rain the smell fills my nostrils | E |
| With the stings of insects that come with the fog my whole body is sore | F |
| I am growing old time flies and my short span runs out | G |
| While I sit in a boat at Chiu k ou wasting ten days | H |
