My Desk Is Not So Wide That I Might Lean Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIHJMy 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 |
