For A Fatherless Son Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCADAAEFGA| You will be aware of an absence presently | A |
| Growing beside you like a tree | A |
| A death tree color gone an Australian gum tree | A |
| Balding gelded by lightning an illusion | B |
| And a sky like a pig's backside an utter lack of attention | B |
| But right now you are dumb | C |
| And I love your stupidity | A |
| The blind mirror of it I look in | D |
| And find no face but my own and you think that's funny | A |
| It is good for me | A |
| To have you grab my nose a ladder rung | E |
| One day you may touch what's wrong | F |
| The small skulls the smashed blue hills the godawful hush | G |
| Till then your smiles are found money | A |
