In Praise Of Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHEIJ AKLMJN HOBPLG QRISTK| You can keep afternoon and its dwindling mysteries | A |
| twilight with its seedy hauteur You can have night | B |
| with its phony neon and rented motel rooms | C |
| I prefer morning when the air is so quiet the rub | D |
| of a cricket's leg sounds like wildness beckoning | E |
| - | |
| My feet pad along the carpet like bears' paws | F |
| along a stretch of furred moss The cherry tree | G |
| catches the first glint of gold in its deep green | H |
| The kitchen is mine empty and humming | E |
| I am queen of the breakfast room empress | I |
| of a new regime Ideas sprout from my head | J |
| - | |
| like bursts of startled blue jays All possibilities | A |
| lie before me in the rustle of leaves at the window | K |
| Something extraordinary is about to happen | L |
| I could write an essay on forgiveness | M |
| or construct an altar to Artemis with five red | J |
| maple leaves a fish bone and a snake's rattle | N |
| - | |
| I have imagined dawn lifting her skirt the limousine | H |
| of night pausing to release debutantes in important | O |
| gowns I have watched schools of light | B |
| emerge from a window's shoreline and know that | P |
| beginning is always beginning every midnight open | L |
| to a river of mornings the day a fresh tributary | G |
| - | |
| Anything is possible understanding quantum physics | Q |
| making plans for an innocent city Pain could disappear | R |
| by sundown Night could wear a sunlit dress | I |
| We could start a journey to the new Jerusalem | S |
| waving good bye at the station where the trains pass | T |
| and dawn blank as a newborn floods each window | K |
