Early Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEA| THE BABY moon a canoe a silver papoose canoe sails and sails in the Indian west | A |
| A ring of silver foxes a mist of silver foxes sit and sit around the Indian moon | B |
| One yellow star for a runner and rows of blue stars for more runners keep a line of watchers | C |
| O foxes baby moon runners you are the panel of memory fire white writing to night of the Red Man's dreams | D |
| Who squats legs crossed and arms folded matching its look against the moon face the star faces of the West | A |
| Who are the Mississippi Valley ghosts of copper foreheads riding wiry ponies in the night no bridles love arms on the pony necks riding in the night a long old trail | E |
| Why do they always come back when the silver foxes sit around the early moon a silver papoose in the Indian west | A |
