My White Mouse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJ| At 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 |
