Heavy Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMN OPQRPST| Irrefutable beautifully smug | A |
| As Venus pedestalled on a half shell | B |
| Shawled in blond hair and the salt | C |
| Scrim of a sea breeze the women | D |
| Settle in their belling dresses | E |
| Over each weighty stomach a face | F |
| Floats calm as a moon or a cloud | G |
| - | |
| Smiling to themselves they meditate | H |
| Devoutly as the Dutch bulb | I |
| Forming its twenty petals | J |
| The dark still nurses its secret | K |
| On the green hill under the thorn trees | L |
| They listen for the millennium | M |
| The knock of the small new heart | N |
| - | |
| Pink buttoned infants attend them | O |
| Looping wool doing nothing in particular | P |
| They step among the archetypes | Q |
| Dusk hoods them in Mary blue | R |
| While far off the axle of winter | P |
| Grinds round bearing down the straw | S |
| The star the wise grey men | T |
