Seaward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHGHGIGI| Darling you think it's love it's just a midnight journey | A |
| Best are the dales and rivers removed by force | B |
| as from the next compartment throttles Oh stop it Bernie | A |
| yet the rhythm of those paroxysms is exactly yours | C |
| Hook to the meat Brush to the red brick dentures | D |
| alias cigars smokeless like a driven nail | E |
| Here the works are fewer than monkey wrenches | F |
| and the phones are whining dwarfed by to no avail | E |
| Bark then with joy at Clancy Fitzgibbon Miller | G |
| Dogs and block letters care how misfortune spells | H |
| Still you can tell yourself in the john by the spat at mirror | G |
| slamming the flush and emerging with clean lapels | H |
| Only the liquid furniture cradles the dwindling figure | G |
| Man shouldn't grow in size once he's been portrayed | I |
| Look what's been left behind is about as meager | G |
| as what remains ahead Hence the horizon's blade | I |
