Fuji In A Saucer: The Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIJI| Through tannic steam I catch a glimpse of Fuji | A |
| Against a yellow sky volcanic gold | B |
| A saucer narrows nature very strangely | A |
| In shallow ripples lovely to behold | B |
| The clouds like little webs like spider legs | C |
| Are pierced by sun no bigger than a mote | D |
| And bird fish fish birds flecks that will be dregs | C |
| Spin azure topaz outlines as they float | D |
| A tiny world with spring a world in it | E |
| There comes an air of almonds blare of horns | F |
| And all the gulf if twice as large would fit | E |
| Encompassed in the hug of porcelain shores | G |
| But now an unexpected twig mimosa | H |
| Has fallen where its shadow split the sky | I |
| Just so at times in philosophic prose | J |
| A glint of poetry will catch the eye | I |
