No Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJBK HLMNOB| I like divorce I love to compose | A |
| letters of resignation now and then | B |
| I send one in and leave in a lemon | C |
| hued Huff or a Snit with four on the floor | D |
| Do you like the scent of a hollyhock | E |
| To each his own I love a burning bridge | F |
| - | |
| I like to watch the small boat go over | G |
| the falls it swirls in a circle | H |
| like a dog coiling for sleep and its frail bow | I |
| pokes blindly out over the falls' lip | J |
| a little and a little more and then | B |
| too much and then the boat's nose dives and butt | K |
| - | |
| flips up so that the boat points doomily | H |
| down and the screams of the soon to be dead | L |
| last longer by echo than the screamers do | M |
| Let's go to the videotape the news | N |
| caster intones and the control room does | O |
| and the boat explodes again and again | B |
