Emanuel: “I hear a whistling / Through the water / Little Emmett / Won’t be still. / He keeps floating / Round the darkness, / Edging through / The silent chill.”

Rhyme - the repetition of sounds at the ends of words Ex: mine and pine Rhyme Scheme- a regular pattern of end rhymes Ex: ABAB, ABBA, ABBB, AABB, AABA, ABCA…etc. Assonance – repetition of the same vowel sounds Ex: “The crumbling thunder of the seas”
