Birdsong Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHIJK LMNOPQRSTUVWPX| I am eagle don't be fooled by red silk | A |
| heels that sound so much like clanking clay | B |
| on hardwood floors where you and I one night | C |
| did lay when there was no heat left | D |
| to warm a chilling breast | E |
| when your dense chest fell wet on mine | F |
| I found a feather when you left | D |
| it lay upon a pillow drenched in you | G |
| Perhaps it was inside It matters not | H |
| as I have since then eaten it | I |
| and cannot prove to you that | J |
| it did in fact exist | K |
| - | |
| Before I'd ever heard your name | L |
| or pictured how you might have looked | M |
| before I'd seen your constant face | N |
| the one that waits inside dark eyes | O |
| to see if I can truly fly or if instead | P |
| you might just plant my pinioned feet | Q |
| into your waxy wood grained floorboards | R |
| making plumage turn to twigs that dangle | S |
| down a perfect fruit which you could pluck | T |
| from your soft bed while I grew old and weary | U |
| but I was eagle I grew light and wild | V |
| long before I'd brushed your flesh these wings | W |
| had taken me to heights much higher than those red | P |
| silk shoes those platforms to your dreamworld | X |
