Compact Dusk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCD EFE GHEHere at the height of the day night change | A |
The color of the sky is uncertain | B |
The sky depending in which direction | B |
One's eye strains each of its swatches a strange | A |
- | |
Hue which dies too soon and which makes this hour | C |
Linger in the mind transient as a life | D |
Whose names once known remain another | C |
Posied up portrait on our palette knife | D |
- | |
Until even I wonder if one tint | E |
Ever survives the harm of seeming unique | F |
Evening's intrigue time's singularity | E |
- | |
Study for its trace its placemap I see | G |
Redundant as a stopsign in italic | H |
The face on which my profile leaves no print | E |
