-my Sister - Life-s Overflowing Today- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIHE JHEH KLEL MEMN| My sister Life s overflowing today | A |
| spring rain shattering itself like glass | B |
| but people with monocles still complain | C |
| and sting politely like snakes in the grass | B |
| - | |
| The elders have their logic of course | D |
| certainly yours is foolish no doubt | E |
| that eyes and lawns glow lilac in storms | F |
| and sweet perfume blows from the south | G |
| - | |
| That in May when traveling you see | H |
| the timetable on the Kamyshin line | I |
| the Bible s penned no less magnificently | H |
| while in reading it you re mesmerised | E |
| - | |
| That sunset has only to show a village | J |
| girls crowding the track as we flee | H |
| and I find that it s not my stop today | E |
| the sun offering its sympathy | H |
| - | |
| With three splashes the bell swims by | K |
| Sorry not here its apology s far | L |
| Burning night seeps under the blind | E |
| the steppe plunges from step to star | L |
| - | |
| Winking blinking sweetly somewhere | M |
| my love a fata morgana sleeps yet | E |
| while like my heart splashed on platforms there | M |
| the carriage throws window light over the steppe | N |
