The Sunday News Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNOP| Looking for something in the Sunday paper | A |
| I flipped by accident through Local Weddings | B |
| Yet missed the photograph until I saw | C |
| your name among the headings | B |
| - | |
| And there you were looking almost unchanged | D |
| Your hair still long though now long out of style | E |
| And you still wore that stiff and serious look | F |
| You called a smile | E |
| - | |
| I felt as though we sat there face to face | G |
| My stomach tightened I read the item through | H |
| It said too much about both families | I |
| Too little about you | H |
| - | |
| Finished at last I threw the paper down | J |
| Stung by jealousy my mind aflame | K |
| Hating this man this stranger whom you loved | L |
| This printed name | K |
| - | |
| And yet I clipped it out to put away | M |
| Inside a book like something I might use | N |
| A scrap I knew I wouldn't read again | O |
| But couldn't bear to lose | P |
