Touch-and-go Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGE HIJKLMNO PQCRSTUV| Sing praise for statuary | A |
| For those anchored attitudes | B |
| And staunch stone eyes that stare | C |
| Through lichen lid and passing bird foot | D |
| At some steadfast mark | E |
| Beyond the inconstant green | F |
| Gallop and flick of light | G |
| In this precarious park | E |
| - | |
| Where vivid children twirl | H |
| Like colored tops through time | I |
| Nor stop to understand | J |
| How all their play is touch and go | K |
| But Go they cry and the swing | L |
| Arcs up to the tall tree tip | M |
| Go and the merry go round | N |
| Hauls them round with it | O |
| - | |
| And I like the children caught | P |
| In the mortal active verb | Q |
| Let my transient eye break a tear | C |
| For each quick flaring game | R |
| Of child leaf and cloud | S |
| While on this same fugue unmoved | T |
| Those stonier eyes look | U |
| Safe socketed in rock | V |
