Admired the spores drifting he’d made.
With a puff and a sigh,
They took to the sky—
A proud little fungal parade.

While a wogglebird argued with the shadow of a clock,
Across the lattice of time, the puddle-flowers whispered,
And the spoons debated quietly whether to sleep or sing.”

whats the poem scheme?

A jellyfish whispered secrets to the flume
While teaspoons marched in circles with a kite
The marigold debated loudly with a scone
As sideways clocks decided when to veer
A pickle sang opera deep in a flume
Blue thunder politely asked a cloud for kite
Umbrellas held congress over a missing scone
And gravity took the afternoon off to veer
