The Red Ink Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMN| For so long I've ached | A |
| for so long I've yearned | B |
| to tear out a heart so fragile | C |
| I've wanted it off my bossom | D |
| to feel how it is a heart without | E |
| I've longed to pen a tear jerker | F |
| an emission from a burning inside | G |
| that smolders my chest empty | H |
| denying me the covetous heartbeat | I |
| Now I cut my body open | J |
| firmly in my hands I hold my heart | K |
| And on the white paper I let the red ink flow | L |
| for I detest earth's appetite that's oft rejuvenated | M |
| craving for my shell and ink | N |

Poet's note: The verse addresses the contemporary environment, where socialisation has bred vulnerability. In the context of disappointments, we need not hurt ourselves, for the earth is always ready for us. Let the red ink flow on paper.
