Post-vacation Tristesse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEF GHI JKK LMN ONP| The Jumbo Jet has barely shuddered off | A |
| The ground and I'm depressed My scuba mask | B |
| And fins my fly rod and beach hat | C |
| - | |
| Crush each other in an overhead locker | D |
| Dark as the bedroom closet they're returning to | E |
| Already the week's good times melt | F |
| - | |
| Together like caramels in a hot car | G |
| My vow to Do this more often recedes | H |
| With the jade palms and sun stroked beaches | I |
| - | |
| I can barely see through my scratched window | J |
| As the pilot thanks us for flying | K |
| United and climbs through ectoplasmic | K |
| - | |
| Clouds into the jet stream that circles | L |
| Earth's head like a tedious tune | M |
| And like a kick in the rear hustles us | N |
| - | |
| Homeward through a sky which though it looks | O |
| blue enough to house heaven is colorless | N |
| As life without you and just goes on and on | P |
