Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIIIIIAIJFAK LKIMIINAIAOIII stopped the car | A |
to let the children down | B |
where the streets end | C |
in the sun | D |
at the marsh edge | E |
and the reeds begin | F |
and there are small houses | G |
facing the reeds | H |
and the blue mist in the distance | I |
with grapevine trellises | I |
with grape clusters | I |
small as strawberries | I |
on the vines | I |
and ditches | I |
running springwater | A |
that continue the gutters | I |
with willows over them | J |
The reeds begin | F |
like water at a shore | A |
their pointed petals waving | K |
dark green and light | L |
But blueflags are blossoming | K |
in the reeds | I |
which the children pluck | M |
chattering in the reeds | I |
high over their heads | I |
which they part | N |
with bare arms to appear | A |
with fists of flowers | I |
till in the air | A |
there comes the smell | O |
of calmus | I |
from wet gummy stalks | I |
