The Ravaged Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJKLM

Outlandish as a circus the ravaged faceA
Parades the marketplace lurid and strickenB
By some unutterable chagrinC
Maudlin from leaky eye to swollen noseD
Two pinlegs stagger underneath the massE
Grievously purpled mouth skewered on a groanF
Past keeping to the house past all discretionB
Myself myself obscene lugubriousG
Better the flat leer of the idiotH
The stone face of the man who dosen't feelI
The velvet dodges of the hypocriteJ
Better better and more acceptableK
To timorous children to the lady on the streetL
O Oedipus O Christ You use me illM
