Roadside Crosses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHIJHI

This is a state where nothing marks the spotA
officially They crop up now and thenB
out on the Freeway or in rustic plotsC
sometimes near S curves in the country whenB
the corn's knee high a cross or even twoD
or three made out of poles or boards whiteE
washed or painted They seem to have a viewD
of nothing at all only the blurred lightsF
of oncoming cars and the eighteen wheelersG
roaring by Memory has a harsh stingH
blown back like the fine grit that settlesI
while you walk here now no special healerJ
merely a friend or brother stopped to bringH
a can of flowers to set among the nettlesI
