Water-bailing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGH| Not a drop of rain for this dry heat | A |
| Come girls let's go bail water | B |
| Let's drag our delta shaped buckets to that huge square field | C |
| where our bodies can pulse to the water's lapping | D |
| Crouched straining to catch each trickle from the rockheads | E |
| our buttocks tighten with such labor | B |
| Indeed we work so hard we forget the effort | F |
| and taking a final stance to bend and lift | G |
| you part your legs a second and it's filled | H |
