D. Alliteration and Assonance
Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter sound at the beginning of a group of words. In this case the /tw/ sound repeats at the beginning of both twinklings and twinges. Assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound within a group of words. In this case the /in/ sound is repeated in both tw/in/klings and tw/in/ges.
Hyperbole is an over-exaggeration. There is no over-exaggeration in this phrase. Enjambment is when a sentence spills over into other lines or stanzas in a poem. This is not the case with this phrase either.
Answer:
The poem "Harlem" uses the free verse form of poetry.
Explanation:
Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem" was written in the form of a free verse which means that there is no specific rhyme scheme or meter form. Free verse poems are nonetheless poetic. The absence of any consistent rhyme scheme did not defer in the poem's meaningful expression of the poem.
Hughes'<em> "Harlem"</em> is in the form of a question which the poet directed to the readers. The poem goes like this-
<em>What happens to a dream deferred?
</em>
<em> Does it dry up
</em>
<em> like a raisin in the sun?
</em>
<em> Or fester like a sore—
</em>
<em> And then run?
</em>
<em> Does it stink like rotten meat?
</em>
<em> Or crust and sugar over—
</em>
<em> like a syrupy sweet?
</em>
<em />
<em> Maybe it just sags
</em>
<em> like a heavy load.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em> Or does it explode?</em>
There are no specific rhyming scheme though some words do rhyme in some lines (sun/run, meat/sweet etc). But overall, there is no indication of any sense of rhyming or meter form.
