Picnic Boat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHEIJ| Sunday night and the park policemen tell each other it | A |
| is dark as a stack of black cats on Lake Michigan | B |
| A big picnic boat comes home to Chicago from the peach | C |
| farms of Saugatuck | D |
| Hundreds of electric bulbs break the night's darkness a | E |
| flock of red and yellow birds with wings at a standstill | F |
| Running along the deck railings are festoons and leaping | D |
| in curves are loops of light from prow and stern | G |
| to the tall smokestacks | H |
| Over the hoarse crunch of waves at my pier comes a | E |
| hoarse answer in the rhythmic oompa of the brasses | I |
| playing a Polish folk song for the home comers | J |
