The Street Kitchen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLFMNOPKQR S| The sky mourns for its yellow god that | A |
| Refuses to shed its cloak of goblin sackcloth | B |
| Sitting sullenly above the altostratus clouds | C |
| It glares and sniggers downward unseen | D |
| As a collection of nodding heads huddle | E |
| Doodling their noodles beside the street kitchen | F |
| While paper blankets huddle in doorways | G |
| Their vacant eyes held steadfast on the doodling noodling clientele | H |
| With their fat stomachs and smiling faces | I |
| Holding their bowls in their warm blooded hands | J |
| The crimson rimmed eyes of the unseen crouching | K |
| waiting on their bloodless legs ready to pounce | L |
| like a fox on a chicken | F |
| The lost children of society | M |
| Waiting for their crumbs left in the bottom of some fat bellied bowl | N |
| But the mourning of the sun will last long | O |
| Whilst paper blankets shred and | P |
| The harvesting moon is busy sleeping | K |
| So the grey faces of society must wait | Q |
| Pecking for worms in the dried up earth of mankind | R |
| I wonder will the richness of time and love reach them | S |
