To A Joshua Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD CEFC GHIJKI

I watch you flare up from the Mojave backdropA
obstreperous a lyric of exploding tarB
bold and unpredictable after legions of vernacularC
tawdry scrub pine I am taken abackD
-
dazed by a temperamental tremorC
of branches flung across the desert's spineE
High limbs swirl into vivid saxophonesF
A tree that plays on being a tree an impostorC
-
among the true believers you are all asymmetryG
and wild trumpets of spiked hair unloosed at noonH
the disorder of a jazz riff a July blizzardI
I love your crazed charm a madman raving at skyJ
An old world prophet you brandish a visionK
as the world's traffic turns its back glides onwardI
