Tsushima Screen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEBBFGHI| The perilous yellow sun follows with its slant eyes | A |
| masts of the shuddered grove steaming up to capsize | A |
| in the frozen straits of Epiphany February has fewer | B |
| days than the other months therefore it's more cruel | C |
| than the rest Dearest it's more sound | D |
| to wrap up our sailing round | D |
| the globe with habitual naval grace | E |
| moving your cot to the fireplace | E |
| where our dreadnought is going under | B |
| in great smoke Only fire can grasp a winter | B |
| Golder unharnessed stallions in the chimney | F |
| dye their manes to more corvine shades as they near the finish | G |
| and the dark room fills with the plaintive incessant chirring | H |
| of a naked lounging grasshopper one cannot cup in fingers | I |
