My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles and dolls,

I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer

Because sun stays and birds continue to sing

D. “It is a real chill out,”

Answer 1

A caesura is a pause or break in a line of poetry, often created by punctuation or natural speech patterns. In the given lines, the best example of a caesura is:

**B. “I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer”**

This line has a natural pause after "deceived," which creates a rhythm break typical of caesura.
