Falling Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KDo you remember still the falling stars | A |
that like swift horses through the heavens raced | B |
and suddenly leaped across the hurdles | C |
of our wishes do you recall And we | D |
did make so many For there were countless numbers | E |
of stars each time we looked above we were | F |
astounded by the swiftness of their daring play | G |
while in our hearts we felt safe and secure | H |
watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate | I |
knowing somehow we had survived their fall | J |
