Female Author Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HH| All day she plays at chess with the bones of the world | A |
| Favored while suddenly the rains begin | B |
| Beyond the window she lies on cushions curled | A |
| And nibbles an occasional bonbon of sin | B |
| - | |
| Prim pink breasted feminine she nurses | C |
| Chocolate fancies in rose papered rooms | D |
| Where polished higboys whisper creaking curses | E |
| And hothouse roses shed immortal blooms | D |
| - | |
| The garnets on her fingers twinkle quick | F |
| And blood reflects across the manuscript | G |
| She muses on the odor sweet and sick | F |
| Of festering gardenias in a crypt | G |
| - | |
| And lost in subtle metaphor retreats | H |
| From gray child faces crying in the streets | H |
