Amaryllis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMJN OPQRS| A flower needs to be this size | A |
| to conceal the winter window | B |
| and this color the red | C |
| of a Fiat with the top down | D |
| to impress us dull as we've grown | E |
| - | |
| Months ago the gigantic onion of a bulb | F |
| half above the soil | G |
| stuck out its green tongue | H |
| and slowly day by day | I |
| the flower itself entered our world | J |
| - | |
| closed like hands that captured a moth | K |
| then open as eyes open | L |
| and the amaryllis seeing us | M |
| was somehow undiscouraged | J |
| It stands before us now | N |
| - | |
| as we eat our soup | O |
| you pour a little of your drinking water | P |
| into its saucer and a few crumbs | Q |
| of fragrant earth fall | R |
| onto the tabletop | S |
