Shirt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFDGHAIJKLMFN| I remember once I ran after you and tagged the fluttering | A |
| shirt of you in the wind | B |
| Once many days ago I drank a glassful of something and | C |
| the picture of you shivered and slid on top of the | D |
| stuff | E |
| And again it was nobody else but you I heard in the | D |
| singing voice of a careless humming woman | F |
| One night when I sat with chums telling stories at a | D |
| bonfire flickering red embers in a language its own | G |
| talking to a spread of white stars | H |
| It was you that slunk laughing | A |
| in the clumsy staggering shadows | I |
| Broken answers of remembrance let me know you are | J |
| alive with a peering phantom face behind a doorway | K |
| somewhere in the city's push and fury | L |
| Or under a pack of moss and leaves waiting in silence | M |
| under a twist of oaken arms ready as ever to run | F |
| away again when I tag the fluttering shirt of you | N |
