A Scrawl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CDCD EFEF| I want to sing something but this is all | A |
| I try and I try but the rhymes are dull | B |
| As though they were damp and the echoes fall | A |
| Limp and unlovable | A |
| - | |
| Words will not say what I yearn to say | C |
| They will not walk as I want them to | D |
| But they stumble and fall in the path of the way | C |
| Of my telling my love for you | D |
| - | |
| Simply take what the scrawl is worth | E |
| Knowing I love you as sun the sod | F |
| On the ripening side of the great round earth | E |
| That swings in the smile of God | F |
