Cotton Candy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKBLM| d out to be the last time | A |
| and I ate cotton candy that sugary air | B |
| that sweet blue light spun out of nothingness | C |
| It was just a moment really nothing more | D |
| but I remember marveling at the sturdy cables | E |
| of the bridge that held us up | F |
| and threading my fingers through the long | G |
| and slender fingers of my grandfather | H |
| an old man from the Old World | I |
| who long ago disappeared into the nether regions | J |
| And I remember that eight year old boy | K |
| who had tasted the sweetness of air | B |
| which still clings to my mouth | L |
| and disappears when I breathe | M |
