Blueflags Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIIIIIAIJFAK LKIMIINAIAOII| I 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 |
