The Farm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG AHIHJKA LMGNOPQ RASMTUVMy father's farm is an apple blossomer | A |
He keeps his hills in dandelion carpet | B |
and weaves a lane of lilacs between the rose | C |
and the jack in the pulpits | D |
His sleek cows ripple in the pastures | E |
The dog and purple iris | F |
keep watch at the garden's end | G |
- | |
His farm is rolling thunder | A |
a lightning bolt on the horizon | H |
His crops suck rain from the sky | I |
and swallow the smoldering sun | H |
His fields are oceans of heat | J |
where waves of gold | K |
beat the burning shore | A |
- | |
A red fox | L |
pauses under the birch trees | M |
a shadow is in the river's bend | G |
When the hawk circles the land | N |
my father's grainfields whirl beneath it | O |
Owls gather together to sing in his woods | P |
and the deer run his golden meadow | Q |
- | |
My father's farm is an icicle | R |
a hillside of white powder | A |
He parts the snowy sea | S |
and smooths away the valleys | M |
He cultivates his rows of starlight | T |
and drags the crescent moon | U |
through dark unfurrowed fields | V |
