Duval's Birds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHIJDKThe parrot screeching flew out into the darkness | A |
Circled three times above the upturned faces | B |
With a great whir of brilliant outspread wings | C |
And then returned to stagger on her finger | D |
She bowed and smiled eliciting applause | E |
The property man hated her dirty birds | F |
But it had taken years yes years to train them | G |
To shoulder flags strike bells by tweaking strings | C |
Or climb sedately little flights of stairs | H |
When they were stubborn she tapped them with a wand | I |
And her eyes glittered a little under the eyebrows | J |
The red one flapped and flapped on a swinging wire | D |
The little white ones winked round yellow eyes | K |
