Periods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GHGHIJIJ KLKLMNMO| My destiny it is tonight | A |
| To sit with pensive brow | B |
| Beside my study fire and write | A |
| This verse I'm making now | B |
| This Period this tiny dot | C |
| My pencil has defined | D |
| By centuries of human thought | E |
| Was predestined | F |
| - | |
| And my last period of all | G |
| With patience now I see | H |
| The final point so very small | G |
| That locks my life for me | H |
| Yet in eternity of time | I |
| They relatively seem | J |
| So like the dot that rounds my rhyme | I |
| Or ends my dream | J |
| - | |
| For each was preordained by Fate | K |
| Since human life began | L |
| So are the little and the great | K |
| Linked in the life of man | L |
| And as I wait without heartache | M |
| The pencil point of God | N |
| To pattern predestined I make | M |
| This | O |
