In The North Pasture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMNH OPOQRSCTUV

After we called the sheriff they cameA
and hauled it away But there wasB
one interviewer who stayed behindC
to ask if we'd seen any strange lightsD
in the sky at night or burnt placesE
in the pasture or flocks of hippiesF
traveling through in their painted vansG
-
Nothing we told him Only that pairH
of buzzards floating over the north forkI
but never landing No signs no tracksJ
Only the shaggy lump of the steerK
with its tongue gone ears cut offL
and eyes cored out clean like applesM
Nothing no blood on the groundN
and no flies crawling anywhereH
-
Natural predator he said closingO
his book That's how we'll write it upP
Now I know what you're thinkingO
no bear no mountain lion no coyotesQ
in these parts for a hundred yearsR
And none of them make cuts like thatS
or leave that much good meat behindC
But something's coming back NaturalT
predator he said again He tippedU
his hat You folks take care nowV
