River Moons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEB| THE DOUBLE moon one on the high back drop of the west one on the curve of the river face | A |
| The sky moon of fire and the river moon of water I am taking these home in a basket hung on an elbow such a teeny weeny elbow in my head | B |
| I saw them last night a cradle moon two horns of a moon such an early hopeful moon such a child's moon for all young hearts to make a picture of | C |
| The river I remember this like a picture the river was the upper twist of a written question mark | D |
| I know now it takes many many years to write a river a twist of water asking a question | E |
| And white stars moved when the moon moved and one red star kept burning and the Big Dipper was almost overhead | B |
