Three Balls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF| JABOWSKY'S place is on a side street and only the rain washes the dusty three balls | A |
| When I passed the window a month ago there rested in proud isolation | B |
| A family bible with hasps of brass twisted off a wooden clock with pendulum gone | C |
| And a porcelain crucifix with the glaze nicked where the left elbow of Jesus is represented | D |
| I passed to day and they were all there resting in proud isolation the clock and the crucifix saying no more and no less than before and a yellow cat sleeping in a patch of sun alongside the family bible with the hasps off | E |
| Only the rain washes the dusty three balls in front of Jabowsky's place on a side street | F |
