Dillard Sissman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDDAFGDHIJKLMKN DO| The buzzards wheel slowly | A |
| In wide circles in a sky | B |
| Faintly hazed as from dust from the road | C |
| And a wind sweeps through the pasture where I lie | B |
| Beating the grass into long waves | D |
| My kite is above the wind | E |
| Though now and then it wobbles | D |
| Like a man shaking his shoulders | D |
| And the tail streams out momentarily | A |
| Then sinks to rest | F |
| And the buzzards wheel and wheel | G |
| Sweeping the zenith with wide circles | D |
| Above my kite And the hills sleep | H |
| And a farm house white as snow | I |
| Peeps from green trees far away | J |
| And I watch my kite | K |
| For the thin moon will kindle herself ere long | L |
| Then she will swing like a pendulum dial | M |
| To the tail of my kite | K |
| A spurt of flame like a water dragon | N |
| Dazzles my eyes | D |
| I am shaken as a banner | O |
