Street Child Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFGHIJKLMNOPQRA S| From the first grey wakening | A |
| The meals are a mystery | B |
| When the scorch heats | C |
| My cheeks get rough and burn | D |
| I understand it all | E |
| I don't go to learn | D |
| Even my name is my hope to write | F |
| Unlike other kids | G |
| I don't play games | H |
| I got no time | I |
| I have no address | J |
| I must always run from street to another | K |
| My feet have cracks | L |
| Alone we are left in dark corners of the city buildings | M |
| The heavy rains bring harsh cold nights | N |
| I got no mother by my side | O |
| I spread my boxes and raggy like sheets on the muddy ground | P |
| And for a nap | Q |
| I hardly get any because of the noise footsteps of heels of the passersby and the cars | R |
| Till the next grey wakening | A |
| But then life continues | S |
