Roadside Crosses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHIJHI| This is a state where nothing marks the spot | A |
| officially They crop up now and then | B |
| out on the Freeway or in rustic plots | C |
| sometimes near S curves in the country when | B |
| the corn's knee high a cross or even two | D |
| or three made out of poles or boards white | E |
| washed or painted They seem to have a view | D |
| of nothing at all only the blurred lights | F |
| of oncoming cars and the eighteen wheelers | G |
| roaring by Memory has a harsh sting | H |
| blown back like the fine grit that settles | I |
| while you walk here now no special healer | J |
| merely a friend or brother stopped to bring | H |
| a can of flowers to set among the nettles | I |
