Coloring Book Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR

Each picture is heartbreakingly banalA
a kitten and a ball of yarnB
a dog and boneC
The paper is cheap easily tornD
A coloring book's authority is derivedE
from its heavy black linesF
as unalterable as the ten commandmentsG
within which minor decisions are possibleH
the dog black and whiteI
the kitten grayJ
Under the picture we find a few wordsK
a title perhaps a narrativeL
a psalm or sermonM
But nowhere do we come uponN
a blank page where we might justifyO
the careless way we scribbledP
when we were tired and sadQ
and could bear no moreR
