Why do poets often choose to use sound effects like rhyme, assonance, consonance, and anaphora in a poem?

Answer:

Poets choose to use these figures of speech to create musicality in the poem, in addition to emphasizing something like the poem's theme, tone and mood.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures of speech quoted above are sound devices. with their presence, the poem gains a rhythm and musicality, which makes the text even more subjunctive and musical, highlighting parts of the poem that the poet wishes to emphasize, such as the theme, tone and mood.

In this case, it is important to emphasize that the rhyme refers to the ending of the poem's verses with the same sound, or very similar sounds. Assonance is the repetition of the same vocal timbre in different words. The consonance is the repetition of the same consonant phonemes in different words and the anaphora is the repetition of the same word in the same verse or stanza.
