Book Borrower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI| I am a mild man you'll agree | A |
| But red my rage is | B |
| When folks who borrow books from me | A |
| Turn down their pages | C |
| - | |
| Or when a chap a book I lend | D |
| And find he's loaned it | E |
| Without permission to a friend | D |
| As if he owned it | E |
| - | |
| But worst of all I hate those crooks | F |
| May hell fires burn them | G |
| Who beg the loan of cherished books | F |
| And don't return them | G |
| - | |
| My books are tendrils of myself | H |
| No shears can sever | I |
| May he who rapes one from its shelf | H |
| Be damned forever | I |
