Poetry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB EFEF GHGI JKJK LMNO| Yes I shall swear by you my verse | A |
| I shall wheeze out before I swoon | B |
| You're not a tenor's shape and voice | C |
| You're summer travelling third class | D |
| You are a suburb not a tune | B |
| - | |
| You're a street as close as May | E |
| You're a battlefield at night | F |
| Where clouds groan loudly in dismay | E |
| And scatter when dismissed in fright | F |
| - | |
| And splitting in the railway's lace | G |
| That's outskirts not refrain and home | H |
| They crawl back to their native place | G |
| Without a song as if struck dumb | I |
| - | |
| The shower's offshoots stick in clusters | J |
| Till break of day and all the time | K |
| They scribble on the roofs acrostics | J |
| And bubble up rhyme after rhyme | K |
| - | |
| All poetry is what you make it | L |
| And even when the truism's not worth | M |
| The rhyme the flow of verse is scared | N |
| The notebook's open so flow forth | O |
