Not So Much Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFGHIJ KLMNOPQRAN STUVWXY ZA2B2C2D2UZE2F2 ZG2DH2I2J2K2L2YM2| I evaded capture today | A |
| with only a handful of dust | B |
| to escape that Old Sandman Death | C |
| - | |
| Certainly those maroon berries | D |
| so large luscious | E |
| crowded on their fat stems | F |
| had something to do with it | G |
| as did the ground fog | H |
| leaving its burrow as so many boll weevils | I |
| their crowded nests | J |
| - | |
| And there might be something to the fact | K |
| the moonlight sat | L |
| fat confidant in the night sky | M |
| as surely | N |
| as my head rests on this pillow | O |
| and the poem invites itself | P |
| into my lair of thoughts | Q |
| much as nestlings charge the | R |
| entrance to the runway | A |
| of a tree | N |
| - | |
| I walked flat out | S |
| in an instance | T |
| as standing urine | U |
| held its own stench | V |
| and the grim splash within the pond | W |
| dead center in the wilderness | X |
| underscores the tone of this warning | Y |
| - | |
| One thought encapsulates wonder | Z |
| though suggestive evil hides | A2 |
| leaden leaves buried in lake mud | B2 |
| down the corner eaves of someone's | C2 |
| fire hydrant mind | D2 |
| When you pray for someone | U |
| an Angel sits on their shoulder | Z |
| when that same someone hates you | E2 |
| does that Angel die of grief | F2 |
| - | |
| Serendipity is a flower | Z |
| and those clouds | G2 |
| re arranging the breeze | D |
| harbingers of forbidden things | H2 |
| not so much like these boulders | I2 |
| use hand held scissors to open twilight | J2 |
| and watch this fading light ebb forth | K2 |
| tip I toe like a bird | L2 |
| squeezed thru an opening | Y |
| in its cage | M2 |
