Picnic Boat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHEIJSunday 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 |
