Willard Fluke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJIKLGMNOPQ| My wife lost her health | A |
| And dwindled until she weighed scarce ninety pounds | B |
| Then that woman whom the men | C |
| Styled Cleopatra came along | D |
| And we we married ones | E |
| All broke our vows myself among the rest | F |
| Years passed and one by one | G |
| Death claimed them all in some hideous form | H |
| And I was borne along by dreams | I |
| Of God's particular grace for me | J |
| And I began to write write write reams on reams | I |
| Of the second coming of Christ | K |
| Then Christ came to me and said | L |
| Go into the church and stand before the congregation | G |
| And confess your sin | M |
| But just as I stood up and began to speak | N |
| I saw my little girl who was sitting in the front seat | O |
| My little girl who was born blind | P |
| After that all is blackness | Q |
