I shall not sing a May song A May song should be gay. I'll wait until November And sing a song of gray. I'll wait until November That is the time for me. I'll go out in the frosty dark And sing most terribly. And all the little people Will stare at me and say, "That is the Crazy Woman Who would not sing in May." The poem has rhyming. The rhyme scheme is A, B, C, B, C, D, E, D, F, G, H, G. Gay rhymes with gray and me rhymes with terribliy. Then say and May ryhme.
The poem has consonance because it keeps repeating the S. " I shall not sing a May song."
" A May song should be gay." Also "And sing a song of gray."
It has little repetition because it repeats " I'll wait until November."
More analysis needed....no explanation of the deeper meaning of the poem.....C
The Crazy Woman By Gwendolyn Brooks
I shall not sing a May songA May song should be gay.
I'll wait until November
And sing a song of gray.
I'll wait until November
That is the time for me.
I'll go out in the frosty dark
And sing most terribly.
And all the little people
Will stare at me and say,
"That is the Crazy Woman
Who would not sing in May."
