Answer 1

You're right on 11 and 12. I, too, don't know which to choose for 10. What does your text say in introducing the poem, or what are you supposed to be identifying/studying in the context of your text materials?

Answer 2

In our materials we definitely related Manley to sprung rhythm but sometimes I think they try to trick you because this is definitely a lyrical poem. I really don't want to get it wrong...

Answer 3

I think its an example of a sprung rhythm because lyric poems are supposed to rhyme. I could be wrong tho so you may want a second opinion.

Answer 4

Thank you...

Answer 5

Yes, then if that's what your materials say, go with it. And "anonymous" is right, lyric poetry usually does rhyme.

Answer 6

okay thank you
