Once Upon A Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGGGHHIIJKEE| From the stream | A |
| To the deepest rim | B |
| Of thoughts ravaged by storms | C |
| Of the very nights brightened by drums | D |
| Heavy pestles hitting the mortar | E |
| Yes The pounded yam we ate as brothers | F |
| All but memories buried under the baobab tree | G |
| That was cut and buried on a spree | G |
| Now it is all about money | G |
| Greed that tastes better than honey | G |
| A violent sketch of barbaric aura | H |
| Poisoning our souls like cobra | H |
| The hut now burnt and set ablaze | I |
| For civilization to cast its glaze | I |
| Your brothers out to kill you at dusk | J |
| For a penny pray you don't run out of luck | K |
| There's no peace seeker | E |
| Violence No brother's keeper | E |
