Notes To A Neophyte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAD EFGFHI HJKLMN OPIQGI

Take the general mumbleA
blunt as the faceless gutB
of an anonymous clamC
vernacular as the strutB
of a slug or a small preambleA
by snail under hump of homeD
-
metamorphose the molluskE
of vague vocabularyF
with the structural disciplineG
stiffen the ordinaryF
malleable maskH
to the granite grin of boneI
-
For such a tempering taskH
heat furnace of paradoxJ
in an artifice of iceK
make love and logic mixL
and remember if tedious riskM
seems to jeopardize thisN
-
it was a solar turbineO
gace molten earth a frameP
and it took the diamond stoneI
a weight of world and timeQ
being crystallized from carbonG
to the hardest substance knownI
