The Bookworm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKALA| 'I'm tired Oh tired of books ' said Jack | A |
| 'I long for meadows green | B |
| And woods where shadowy violets | C |
| Nod their cool leaves between | B |
| I long to see the ploughman stride | D |
| His darkening acres o'er | E |
| To hear the hoarse sea waters drive | F |
| Their billows 'gainst the shore | G |
| I long to watch the sea mew wheel | H |
| Back to her rock perched mate | I |
| Or where the breathing cows are housed | J |
| Lean dreaming o'er the gate | I |
| Something has gone and ink and print | K |
| Will never bring it back | A |
| I long for the green fields again | L |
| I'm tired of books ' said Jack | A |

David van Eyck: This harks back to a time when we were removed a single step from reality. We have now "progressed" to TV and device screens to inspire us!
