Willie Pennington Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFFGAHAIJK| They called me the weakling the simpleton | A |
| For my brothers were strong and beautiful | B |
| While I the last child of parents who had aged | C |
| Inherited only their residue of power | D |
| But they my brothers were eaten up | E |
| In the fury of the flesh which I had not | F |
| Made pulp in the activity of the senses which I had not | F |
| Hardened by the growth of the lusts which I had not | F |
| Though making names and riches for themselves | G |
| Then I the weak one the simpleton | A |
| Resting in a little corner of life | H |
| Saw a vision and through me many saw the vision | A |
| Not knowing it was through me | I |
| Thus a tree sprang | J |
| From me a mustard seed | K |
