High School

My mind is a starry night
Thoughts twinkle left and right
I try to shut them with all my might

But, my mind is a fish bazaar
Words come to me from near and far
Unstoppable even with an imaginary bar

Yes, my mind is a stormy sea
Ignorant to my own plea
Wide awake it wants to be

Which of these is true about this poem?

A. Only the odd lines in each stanza share a rhyme.
B. Within each stanza, all the lines end in the same rhyme.
C. Every other line of each stanza shares a rhyme.
D. The poem has the same end rhyme in all the lines.

Answer :

Option A. The poem's rhyme scheme shows that only the odd lines in each stanza share a rhyme.

Only the odd lines in each stanza share a rhyme. If we look at the structure of the poem, we notice that lines 1, 3, and 5 (which are odd-numbered lines) share a rhyming end - 'night', 'right', 'might'. Similarly, in the rest of the stanzas, the same pattern follows with 'bazaar', 'far', 'bar', and 'sea', 'plea', 'be'. Lines 2 and 4 in each stanza do not share the same rhyme with lines 1, 3, and 5, showing that the rhyme scheme is not consistent across all lines. Hence the correct answer to your question about the rhyme scheme in the poem is A.

Answer: Within each Stanza, all the lines end in the same rhyme. C.
