Incommunicado Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFD BBCDEGD| The groundhog on the mountain did not run | A |
| But fatly scuttled into the splayed fern | B |
| And faced me back to a ledge of dirt to rattle | C |
| Her sallow rodent teeth like castanets | D |
| Against my leaning down would not exchange | E |
| For that wary clatter sound or gesture | F |
| Of love claws braced at bay my currency not hers | D |
| - | |
| Such meetings never occur in marchen | B |
| Where love met groundhogs love one in return | B |
| Where straight talk is the rule whether warm or hostile | C |
| Which no gruff animal misinterprets | D |
| From what grace am I fallen Tongues are strange | E |
| Signs say nothing The falcon who spoke clear | G |
| To Canacee cries gibberish to coarsened ears | D |
