Harold Arnett Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKLMNOH| I leaned against the mantel sick sick | A |
| Thinking of my failure looking into the abysm | B |
| Weak from the noon day heat | C |
| A church bell sounded mournfully far away | D |
| I heard the cry of a baby | E |
| And the coughing of John Yarnell | F |
| Bed ridden feverish feverish dying | G |
| Then the violent voice of my wife | H |
| Watch out the potatoes are burning | G |
| I smelled them then there was irresistible disgust | I |
| I pulled the trigger blackness light | J |
| Unspeakable regret fumbling for the world again | K |
| Too late Thus I came here | L |
| With lungs for breathing one cannot breathe here with lungs | M |
| Though one must breathe | N |
| Of what use is it To rid one's self of the world | O |
| When no soul may ever escape the eternal destiny of life | H |
