Lawyer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH| When the jury files in to deliver a verdict after weeks of direct and cross examinations hot clashes | A |
| of lawyers and cool decisions of the judge | B |
| There are points of high silence twiddling of thumbs is at an end bailiffs near cuspidors take fresh | C |
| chews of tobacco and wait and the clock has a chance for its ticking to be heard | D |
| A lawyer for the defense clears his throat and holds himself ready if the word is Guilty to enter | E |
| motion for a new trial speaking in a soft voice speaking in a voice slightly colored with bitter wrongs | F |
| mingled with monumental patience speaking with mythic Atlas shoulders of many preposterous | G |
| unjust circumstances | H |
