The Plaid Dress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFF GHHI JIJI| Strong sun that bleach | A |
| The curtains of my room can you not render | B |
| Colourless this dress I wear mdash | A |
| This violent plaid | C |
| Of purple angers and red shames the yellow stripe | D |
| Of thin but valid treacheries the flashy green of kind deeds done | E |
| Through indolence high judgments given here in haste | F |
| The recurring checker of the serious breach of taste | F |
| - | |
| No more uncoloured than unmade | G |
| I fear can be this garment that I may not doff | H |
| Confession does not strip it off | H |
| To send me homeward eased and bare | I |
| - | |
| All through the formal unoffending evening under the clean | J |
| Bright hair | I |
| Lining the subtle gown it is not seen | J |
| But it is there | I |
