A Poet At Twenty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Images leap with him from branch to branch His eyes | A |
| brighten his head cocks he pauses under a green bough | B |
| alert | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp And when I see him I want to hide him somewhere | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp The other wood is past the hill But he will enter it and find the particular maple He will walk through the door of the maple and his arms will pull out of their sockets and the blood will bubble from his mouth his ears his penis and his nostrils His body will rot His body will dry in ropey tatters Maybe he will grow his body again three years later Maybe he won't | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp There is nothing to do to keep this from happening | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp It occurs to me that the greatest gentleness would put a bullet into his bright eye And when I look in his eye it is not his eye that I see | G |
