Branch Library Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CD EF GH IA| I wish I could find that skinny long beaked boy | A |
| who perched in the branches of the old branch library | B |
| - | |
| He spent the Sabbath flying between the wobbly stacks | C |
| and the flimsy wooden tables on the second floor | D |
| - | |
| pecking at nuts nesting in broken spines scratching | E |
| notes under his own corner patch of sky | F |
| - | |
| I'd give anything to find that birdy boy again | G |
| bursting out into the dusky blue afternoon | H |
| - | |
| with his satchel of scrawls and scribbles | I |
| radiating heat singing with joy | A |
