The Wrong Way Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGHIJKLMNOAll night a door floated down the river | A |
It tried to remember little incidents of pleasure | A |
from its former life like the time the lovers | B |
leaned against it kissing for hours | B |
and whispering those famous words | C |
Later there were harsh words and a shoe | D |
was thrown and the door was slammed | E |
Comings and goings by the thousands | F |
the early mornings and late nights years years | G |
O they've got big plans they'll make a bundle | H |
The door was an island that swayed in its sleep | I |
The moon turned the doorknob just slightly | J |
burned its fingers and ran | K |
and still the door said nothing and slept | L |
At least that's what they like to say | M |
the little fishes and so on | N |
Far away a bell rang and then a shot was fired | O |
