Belfast Tune Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIJI| Here's a girl from a dangerous town | A |
| She crops her dark hair short | B |
| so that less of her has to frown | A |
| when someone gets hurt | C |
| - | |
| She folds her memories like a parachute | D |
| Dropped she collects the peat | E |
| and cooks her veggies at home they shoot | D |
| here where they eat | E |
| - | |
| Ah there's more sky in these parts than say | F |
| ground Hence her voice's pitch | G |
| and her stare stains your retina like a gray | F |
| bulb when you switch | G |
| - | |
| hemispheres and her knee length quilt | H |
| skirt's cut to catch the squall | I |
| I dream of her either loved or killed | J |
| because the town's too small | I |
