The Wrong Way Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGHIJKLMNO

All night a door floated down the riverA
It tried to remember little incidents of pleasureA
from its former life like the time the loversB
leaned against it kissing for hoursB
and whispering those famous wordsC
Later there were harsh words and a shoeD
was thrown and the door was slammedE
Comings and goings by the thousandsF
the early mornings and late nights years yearsG
O they've got big plans they'll make a bundleH
The door was an island that swayed in its sleepI
The moon turned the doorknob just slightlyJ
burned its fingers and ranK
and still the door said nothing and sleptL
At least that's what they like to sayM
the little fishes and so onN
Far away a bell rang and then a shot was firedO
