Casino Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJKDL MNOBPQMy mind is shuffling its deck tonight | A |
slipping one card over another | B |
letting them all fall together at the corners | C |
the random hand of memory | D |
is dealing from the bottom of the pack | E |
- | |
First a bearded man emptying | F |
the dragon kiln then a woman | G |
whistling her face turned away | H |
as she opens the oven Next | I |
a big cat six toes on each paw | J |
climbing up the yardpole Last | K |
a pair of workhorses circling a tree | D |
until they grind themselves to dust | L |
- | |
There is no one home in the world | M |
tonight Everyone is out of range | N |
The cradles are empty the boughs | O |
broken down Trees go helter skelter | B |
and the wheel is creaking on its shaft | P |
Hit me I say to the dealer Hit me again | Q |
