To A Downfallen Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHAIJCKLMAAHA NA AEAAOA EBBPQ| When I laid aside the verses of Mimnermus | A |
| I lived a life of canned heat and raw hands | A |
| alone not far from my body did I wander | B |
| walked with a hope of a sudden dreamy forest of gold | C |
| O rose downfallen bend your huge vegetic back | D |
| eye down the imposter sun in winter dream | E |
| sulk your rosefamed head into the bile of golden giant | F |
| ah rose augment the rose further still | G |
| whence upon that self created dive in Eden | H |
| you blossomed where the Watchmaker of Nothingness | A |
| lulled | I |
| your birth did cause bits of smashed night to pop | J |
| causing my dreamy forest to unfold | C |
| Yes and the Watchmaker his wheely flesh | K |
| and jewelled bones spoiled as he awoke | L |
| and in the face of your Somethingness he fled | M |
| waving oblivious monks in his unwinded hands | A |
| The sun cannot see upheaved spatics the tennis of Venus | A |
| and the court of Mars sing the big lie of the sun | H |
| ah faraway ball of fur sponge up the elements | A |
| make clear the trees and the mountains of the earth | N |
| arise and turn away from the vast fixedness | A |
| - | |
| Rose Rose my tinhorneared rose | A |
| Rose is my visionic eyehand of all Mysticdom | E |
| Rose is my wise chair of bombed houses | A |
| Rose is my patient electric eyes eyes eyes eyes | A |
| Rose is my festive jowl | O |
| Dali Lama Grand Vicar Glorious Caesar rose | A |
| - | |
| When I hear the rose scream | E |
| I gather all the failure experiments of an anatomical empire | B |
| and with some chemical dream discover | B |
| the hateful law of the earth and sun and the screaming | P |
| rose between | Q |
