My Desk Is Not So Wide That I Might Lean Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIHJ| My desk is not so wide that I might lean | A |
| Against the edge and reach out past the shell | B |
| Of board and glass beyond the isthmus in | C |
| The endless miles of my scraped out farewell | B |
| - | |
| It's night there now Beyond your sultry neck | D |
| They went to bed Behind your shoulders' realm | E |
| Switched off the light At dawn I'd give them back | F |
| The porch would touch them with a sleepy stem | G |
| - | |
| No not with snowflakes With your arms Reach far | H |
| Oh you ten fingers of my pain the light | I |
| Of crystal winter stars and every star | H |
| A sign of northbound snowbound trains being late | J |
