Matins Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECBFGHBIJKLMYou want to know how I spend my time | A |
I walk the front lawn pretending | B |
to be weeding You ought to know | C |
I'm never weeding on my knees pulling | B |
clumps of clover from the flower beds in fact | D |
I'm looking for courage for some evidence | E |
my life will change though | C |
it takes forever checking | B |
each clump for the symbolic | F |
leaf and soon the summer is ending already | G |
the leaves turning always the sick trees | H |
going first the dying turning | B |
brilliant yellow while a few dark birds perform | I |
their curfew of music You want to see my hands | J |
As empty now as at the first note | K |
Or was the point always | L |
to continue without a sign | M |
