Galatea Encore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBBFBBBGBHAs though the mercury's under its tongue it won't | A |
talk As though with the mercury in its sphincter | B |
immobile by a leaf coated pond | C |
a statue stands white like a blight of winter | B |
After such snow there is nothing indeed the ins | D |
and outs of centuries pestered heather | B |
That's what coming full circle means | E |
when your countenance starts to resemble weather | B |
when Pygmalion's vanished And you are free | B |
to cloud your folds to bare the navel | F |
Future at last That is bleached debris | B |
of a glacier amid the five lettered never | B |
Hence the routine of a goddess nee | B |
alabaster that lets roving pupils gorge on | G |
the heart of color and the temperature of the knee | B |
That's what it looks like inside a virgin | H |
