A Fish Answers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCECAAmazing monster that for aught I know | A |
With the first sight of thee didst make our race | B |
For ever stare O flat and shocking face | B |
Grimly divided from the breast below | A |
Thou that on dry land horribly dost go | A |
With a split body and most ridiculous pace | B |
Prong after prong disgracer of all grace | B |
Long useless finned haired upright unwet slow | A |
- | |
O breather of unbreathable sword sharp air | C |
How canst exist How bear thyself thou dry | D |
And dreary sloth WHat particle canst share | C |
Of the only blessed life the watery | E |
I sometimes see of ye an actual pair | C |
Go by linked fin by fin most odiously | A |
