The Dictators Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHIJKLMNOPQAn odor has remained among the sugarcane | A |
a mixture of blood and body a penetrating | B |
petal that brings nausea | C |
Between the coconut palms the graves are full | D |
of ruined bones of speechless death rattles | E |
The delicate dictator is talking | B |
with top hats gold braid and collars | F |
The tiny palace gleams like a watch | G |
and the rapid laughs with gloves on | H |
cross the corridors at times | I |
and join the dead voices | J |
and the blue mouths freshly buried | K |
The weeping cannot be seen like a plant | L |
whose seeds fall endlessly on the earth | M |
whose large blind leaves grow even without light | N |
Hatred has grown scale on scale | O |
blow on blow in the ghastly water of the swamp | P |
with a snout full of ooze and silence | Q |
