One Hour Ater The Dance Of Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH BIJ KLM| I lay in the abyss where twisting squeezing | A |
| The lowest form of life pushed itself peristaltically | B |
| Where slippery and slimy worm and eel entwined | C |
| I was a worm myself overwhelmed with exhaustion | D |
| - | |
| This lasted an eon before I succeeded | E |
| And one of my senses could slowly lift itself up | F |
| The sense of hearing Listening it scouted out if | G |
| The dancer Death had finally waltzed into the distance | H |
| - | |
| I eavesdrop breathless Then a sparkling chromatic scale | B |
| Flows wanly from the open window next door | I |
| Maybe Death is sitting there tuning his piano | J |
| - | |
| And while my life enjoys zestfully eating and fills with gas | K |
| I feel him lean in that requisite little side room | L |
| Where he invisibly reads rustling the evening paper | M |
