Roadside Crosses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHIJHIThis 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 |
