The poem that uses assonance is the first one:
"I flew my kite
And my soul was contented
Watching it flash against the concave of the blue.
My friends pointed at the clouds."
Assonance is a literary device that involves the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words or stressed syllables within a phrase or sentence.
In this poem, we observe assonance in the repeated long "i" sound in words like "I," "kite," and "contented." This repetition of the vowel sound creates a harmonious and musical quality in the poem, contributing to its overall poetic effect.
But the second poem does not prominently feature assonance. It relies more on other poetic devices and techniques to convey its meaning and create its own unique atmosphere.
The full question is:
Choose the poem that uses assonance.
1. I flew my kite
And my soul was contented
Watching it flash against the concave of the blue.
My friends pointed at the clouds.
2. Strange that she can keep with ease
A pace so free and fleet,
When such relentless destinies.
Stalk at her feet.
