In the lines from "A Sunset of the City" by Gwendolyn Brooks, the two main poetic elements used are:
-
Caesura - This refers to a pause or break in a line of poetry, which can add to the rhythm or emphasize certain aspects of the poem.
-
Alliteration - This is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words, which can create a musical quality and enhance the imagery in the poem.
So, the correct answers are caesura and alliteration.
