Oracabessa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI CJKLMNAOPQAOR| An iron wrought gate of turpentine force conveys little pigment | A |
| almost black parchment letters mindful of | B |
| hands arched and stroked from the very stone until an | C |
| elephantine water runs nettle sand to their granite perch | D |
| The broiling heat in this part of the Indies one knows must | E |
| posthaste carry to the humus and flies any modicum of human remains | F |
| And over distant dispatch of time the elongated sprawl of waves dashing up straight to the shallow's grave makes | G |
| memory drawn any record of the little parish's dead flimsy | H |
| in the topsy context of soil and undulant peat | I |
| - | |
| A greened isle stares past the feckless scene past again an | C |
| aged church noticeboard that scrapes out traces of news | J |
| worthy of import to the wormy road | K |
| Whitewash the colour of the shackled crypts casts upon | L |
| the church a pallor of distraught gray | M |
| A goat is seen foraging between such marker stones | N |
| The day seems to cut into the marble white detachment | A |
| of the sarcophagi with abrupt candor | O |
| Yet while the cove pokes like a walking stick the sun | P |
| earth conspire to reclaim this space as their rightful bread | Q |
| A huge vegetative urge to growth is witness to abundant | A |
| further life life in whorls of bamboo shoot naseberry | O |
| thatches canebreak all garnished a short stride across the barrier gate | R |
