Question

I need help finding an Internal Rhyme is this poem:

Warned
© Sylvia Stults

Published: October 2015

The sands of time have rendered fear
Blue skies on high no longer clear
Stars were bright whence they came
Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

Crystal clear our waters gleamed
Fish abundant, rivers streamed
Ocean floors sandy white
Now littered, brown, pollution's plight

Trees towered high above
Trunks baring professed love
Birds chirping from sites unseen
Gone, paper joined pollution's team

One can't blame pollution alone
As they say, you reap what you've sown
So let us plant a better seed
Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed

Protect what has been given for free
Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees
For once they're gone, don't you say
Consider yourself warned of that fatal day

Answer 1

well for example:

The sands of time have rendered fear

Blue skies on high no longer clear

Stars were bright whence they came

Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

Crystal clear our waters gleamed

Fish abundant, rivers streamed

Ocean floors sandy white

Now littered, brown, pollution's plight

Trees towered high above

Trunks baring professed love

Birds chirping from sites unseen

Gone, paper joined pollution's team

One can't blame pollution alone

As they say, you reap what you've sown

So let us plant a better seed

Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed

Protect what has been given for free

Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees

For once they're gone, don't you say

Consider yourself warned of that fatal day

basically every word at the end of the sentence rhyme if it helps or like the now in the end of paragraph 1 and 2

Answer 2

Stars were bright whence they came

Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

So let us plant a better seed

Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees

Are all examples of internl rhyme.

Step-by-step explanation:

All right, Internal rhyme is the concept given to the rhyme that can be found or built in the same line by different words. In other words is the employment of words ending with the same sounds, not letter because remember the rhyme is based on sound. That jump to repeat the same sound in a line instead of at the end of the next line. So:

Stars were bright whence they came.

Is an example of intern rhyme because of the sound of were end whence words.

Also:

Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

Because of the sound of dimmed and obscured words' ends.
