One Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHA IAJKLMNOA| Looking for distinctive stones I found the dead otter | A |
| rotting by the tideline and carried all day the scent of this savage | B |
| valediction That headlong high sound the oystercatcher makes | C |
| came echoing through the rocky cove | D |
| where a cormorant was feeding and submarining in the bay | E |
| and a heron rose off a boulder where he'd been invisible | F |
| drifted a little stood again a hieroglyph | G |
| or just longevity reflecting on itself | H |
| between the sky clouding over and the lightly ruffled water | A |
| - | |
| This was the morning after your dream of dying of being held | I |
| and told it didn't matter A butterfly went jinking over | A |
| the wave silky stones and where I turned | J |
| to go up the road again a couple in a blue camper sat | K |
| smoking their cigarettes over their breakfast coffee blue | L |
| scent of smoke the thick dark smell of fresh coffee | M |
| and talking in quiet voices first one then the other answering | N |
| their radio telling the daily news behind them It was warm | O |
| All seemed at peace I could feel the sun coming off the water | A |
