Inland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEEE FGEG HEHE

People that build their houses inlandA
People that buy a plot of groundB
Shaped like a house and build a house thereC
Far from the sea board far from the soundB
-
Of water sucking the hollow ledgesD
Tons of water striking the shoreE
What do they long for as I long forE
One salt smell of the sea once moreE
-
People the waves have not awakenedF
Spanking the boats at the harbor's headG
What do they long for as I long forE
Starting up in my inland bedG
-
Beating the narrow walls and findingH
Neither a window nor a doorE
Screaming to God for death by drowningH
One salt taste of the sea once moreE
