Not Mine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK L| All my life to pretend this world of theirs is mine | A |
| And to know such pretending is disgraceful | B |
| But what can I do Suppose I suddenly screamed | C |
| And started to prophesy No one would hear me | D |
| Their screens and microphones are not for that | E |
| Others like me wander the streets | F |
| And talk to themselves Sleep on benches in parks | G |
| Or on pavements in alleys For there aren't enough prisons | H |
| To lock up all the poor I smile and keep quiet | I |
| They won't get me now | J |
| To feast with the chosen mdash that I do well | K |
