Read the poems below and answer the question that follows.
“The Taxi”
by Amy Lowell
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
I call out for you against the jutted stars
And shout into the ridges of the wind.
Streets coming fast,
One after the other,
Wedge you away from me,
And the lamps of the city p rick my eyes
So that I can no longer see your face.
Why should I leave you,
To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?
“Where Have You Gone”
by Mari Evans
Where have you gone
with your confident
walk with
your crooked smile
why did you leave
me
when you took your
laughter
and departed
are you aware that
with you
went the sun
all light
and what few stars
there were?
Where have you gone
with your confident
walk your
crooked smile the
rent money
in one pocket and
my heart
in another . . .

Answer:
Leaning left and limping light - Alliteration.
Silently, the night took flight - Internal Rhyme.
The story went on and on - Repetition.
So strange, the frail orange in the basket - Assonance.
For a simple walk, An elaborate talk - End rhyme.
We braved the cold, one and all and felt the chill in our very souls - Slant rhyme.
Explanation:
- <em>The first one is Alliteration as it displays the occurrence of the same letter repeatedly i.e. "P".</em>
- <em>The second one is Internal rhyme as its middle word "night" rhymes with the last word"flight". </em>
- <em>The third one is repetition as it indicates the repetition of the story.</em>
- <em>The fourth excerpt is Assonance as it observes a repetition of vowel sounds "Strange", "orange".</em>
- <em>The fifth presents the End rhyme as the end words "Walk" and "talk" rhyme with each other.</em>
- <em>The last one exemplifies the Slant rhyme as it shares the same consonant in "cold" and "chill" with a distinct sound. </em>
