My White Mouse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJAt dusk I saw a craintive mouse | A |
That sneaked and stole around the house | A |
At first I took it for a ghost | B |
For it was snowy white almost | B |
- | |
I've seen them in captivity | C |
But this white mouse was wild and free | C |
And every eye with stealth it stole | D |
And foraged in the garbage hole | D |
- | |
I told the folks yet wondered why | E |
No one could see the mouse but I | E |
For it was really truly white | F |
And not just silvered by moonlight | F |
- | |
And then there came a big black cat | G |
And thought I said Get out of that | G |
It stared at me with savage eyes | H |
As big and yellow as moonrise | H |
- | |
And often times I wonder whether | I |
They didn't just go off together | I |
In the bright moonlight paw in paw | J |
For never more my mouse I saw | J |
