My Masterpiece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD FDFDDDDDIt's slim and trim and bound in blue | A |
Its leaves are crisp and edged with gold | B |
Its words are simple stalwart too | A |
Its thoughts are tender wise and bold | B |
Its pages scintillate with wit | C |
Its pathos clutches at my throat | D |
Oh how I love each line of it | C |
That Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
- | |
In dreams I see it praised and prized | E |
By all from plowman unto peer | F |
It's pencil marked and memorized | E |
It's loaned and not returned I fear | F |
It's worn and torn and travel tossed | G |
And even dusky natives quote | D |
That classic that the world has lost | G |
The Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
- | |
Poor ghost For homes you've failed to cheer | F |
For grieving hearts uncomforted | D |
Don't haunt me now Alas I fear | F |
The fire of Inspiration's dead | D |
A humdrum way I go to night | D |
From all I hoped and dreamed remote | D |
Too late a better man must write | D |
That Little Book I Never Wrote | D |
