Improved Farm Land Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE| Tall timber stood here once hee on a corn belt farm along the Monon | A |
| Here the roots of a half mile of trees dug their runners deep in the loam for a grip and a hold against wind storms | B |
| Then the axemen came and the chips flew to the zing of steel and handle the lank railsplitters cut the big ones first the beeches and the oaks then the brush | C |
| Dynamite wagons and horses took the stumps the plows sunk their teeth in now it is first class corn land omproved property and the hogs grunt over the fodder crops | D |
| It would come hard now for this half mile of improved farm land along the Monon corn belt on a piece of Grand Prarie to remember once it had a great singing family of trees | E |
