Palm Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FAFGHI JIKLMN OAPIQI| Palm tree single legged giant | A |
| topping other trees | B |
| peering at the firmament | A |
| It longs to pierce the black cloud ceiling | C |
| and fly away away | D |
| if only it had wings | E |
| - | |
| The tree seems to express its wish | F |
| in the tossing of its head | A |
| its fronds heave and swish | F |
| It thinks Maybe my leaves are feathers | G |
| and nothing stops me now | H |
| from rising on their flutter | I |
| - | |
| All day the fronds the windblown tree | J |
| soar and flap and shudder | I |
| as though it thinks it can fly | K |
| As though it wanders in the skies | L |
| travelling who knows where | M |
| wheeling past the stars | N |
| - | |
| And then as soon as the wind dies down | O |
| the fronds subside subside | A |
| the mind of the tree returns | P |
| To earth recalls that earth is its mother | I |
| and then it likes once more | Q |
| its earthly corner | I |
