Pretty Words Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDACAD| Poets make pets of pretty docile words | A |
| I love smooth words like gold enamelled fish | B |
| Which circle slowly with a silken swish | B |
| And tender ones like downy feathred birds | A |
| Words shy and dappled deep eyed deer in herds | A |
| Come to my hand and playful if I wish | B |
| Or purring softly at a silver dish | B |
| Blue Persian kittens fed on cream and curds | A |
| - | |
| I love bright words words up and singing early | C |
| Words that are luminous in the dark and sing | D |
| Warm lazy words white cattle under trees | A |
| I love words opalescent cool and pearly | C |
| Like midsummer moths and honied words like bees | A |
| Gilded and sticky with a little sting | D |
