Writing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIJAKLAMNOPQ IRISTUAVW| The cursive crawl the squared off characters | A |
| these by themselves delight even without | B |
| a meaning in a foreign language in | C |
| Chinese for instance or when skaters curve | D |
| all day across the lake scoring their white | E |
| records in ice Being intelligible | F |
| these winding ways with their audacities | A |
| and delicate hesitations they become | G |
| miraculous so intimately out there | H |
| at the pen s point or brush s tip do world | I |
| and spirit wed The small bones of the wrist | J |
| balance against great skeletons of stars | A |
| exactly the blind bat surveys his way | K |
| by echo alone Still the point of style | L |
| is character The universe induces | A |
| a different tremor in every hand from the | M |
| check forger s to that of the Emperor | N |
| Hui Tsung who called his own calligraphy | O |
| the Slender Gold A nervous man | P |
| writes nervously of a nervous world and so on | Q |

| Miraculous It is as though the world | I |
| were a great writing Having said so much | R |
| let us allow there is more to the world | I |
| than writing continental faults are not | S |
| bare convoluted fissures in the brain | T |
| Not only must the skaters soon go home | U |
| also the hard inscription of their skates | A |
| is scored across the open water which long | V |
| remembers nothing neither wind nor wake | W |
