Consonance

Rhyme scheme
we sit around because we hate to go to bed, we sit around and think of things we left unsaid.
we gaze out at the frozen glaze, blazing in the sun.
Inside, I sigh for the day of low tide.
we wait and wonder what it wants.
The shot wave in the air that feels like a slap.

Answer 1

All were wrong

Answer 2

Here are the poetic elements matched to the best-fitting samples:

1. **Alliteration**: "we gaze out at the frozen glaze, blazing in the sun." (The repetition of the initial consonant sounds "g" and "b.")

2. **Assonance**: "we sit around because we hate to go to bed, we sit around and think of things we left unsaid." (The repetition of the vowel sounds "i," "a," and "e.")

3. **Consonance**: "The shot wave in the air that feels like a slap." (The repetition of the "s" and "t" sounds.)

4. **Enjambment**: "we wait and wonder what it wants." (The phrase flows to the next line without a pause.)

5. **Rhyme scheme**: "Inside, I sigh for the day of low tide." (It forms a rhyme with a preceding or following line, though more context is needed for a definitive classification.)

Please note that the last matching for rhyme scheme might be imprecise without full context of other lines; it could potentially refer to a more extended poem with multiple lines for an actual rhyme scheme analysis. If you have more context, feel free to provide it!
