Gulliver Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEF GHG IJG KLM GMM NOM DDM

Over your body the clouds goA
High high and icilyB
And a little flat as if theyC
-
Floated on a glass that was invisibleD
Unlike swansE
Having no reflectionsF
-
Unlike youG
With no strings attachedH
All cool all blue Unlike youG
-
You there on your backI
Eyes to the skyJ
The spider men have caught youG
-
Winding and twining their petty fettersK
Their bribesL
So many silksM
-
How they hate youG
They converse in the valley of your fingers they are inchwormsM
They would have you sleep in their cabinetsM
-
This toe and that toe a relicN
Step offO
Step off seven leagues like those distancesM
-
That revolve in Crivelli untouchableD
Let this eye be an eagleD
The shadow of his lip an abyssM

Sylvia Plath
