Raspberry Doughnut Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAAEFAFGFHIJ| I awaken and open my eyes | A |
| I see you as you are dying | B |
| My eyes are wet and I grab | C |
| the remains of a raspberry doughnut | D |
| i am compelled to eat before it is lost to staleness | A |
| the sugar cannot stem my tears | A |
| everything comes back to me the room in the hospice with a cold glare of light | E |
| I smelled vinegar as you pulled away from me | F |
| You concentrated on something in the distance | A |
| as though it were something you could see | F |
| when you were finally gone i wasn't even sure | G |
| they had to tell me | F |
| Our wedding picture is in front of the bed | H |
| the light bounces off your tuxedo | I |
| the light that will follow you to your end | J |
