Blue Island Intersection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHE IJEKLMMNO| Six streets come together here | A |
| They feed people and wagons into the center | B |
| In and out all day horses with thoughts of nose bags | C |
| Men with shovels women with baskets and baby buggies | D |
| Six ends of streets and no sleep for them all day | E |
| The people and wagons come and go out and in | F |
| Triangles of banks and drug stores watch | G |
| The policemen whistle the trolly cars bump | H |
| Wheels wheels feet feet all day | E |
| - | |
| In the false dawn when the chickens blink | I |
| And the east shakes a lazy baby toe at tomorrow | J |
| And the east fixes a lazy pink half eye this way | E |
| In the time when only one milk wagon crosses | K |
| These three streets these six street ends | L |
| It is the sleep time and they rest | M |
| The triangle banks and the drug stores rest | M |
| The policeman is gone his star and gun sleep | N |
| The owl car blutters along in a sleep walk | O |
