The Space Coast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEFGHIJKLMNOHPQRST F| Florida | A |
| - | |
| An Airedale rolling through green frost | B |
| cabbage palms pointing their accusing leaves | C |
| at whom petulant waves breaking at my feet | D |
| I ran from them Nights yellow lights | E |
| scoured sand What was ever found | F |
| but women in skirts folded around the men | G |
| they loved that Friday No one found me | H |
| And how could that have been here where | I |
| even botanical names were recorded | J |
| and small roads mapped in red | K |
| Night the sky is black paper pecked with pinholes | L |
| Tortoises push eggs into warm sand | M |
| Was it too late to have come here | N |
| Everything's discovered Everything's spoken for | O |
| The air smells of salt My lover's body | H |
| Perhaps it is too late I want to run | P |
| the beach's length because it never ends | Q |
| The barren beach Airedales grow | R |
| fins on their hard heads drowned surfers | S |
| resurface and those little girls | T |
| who would not be called back to safety are found | F |
