The lines from "A Sunset of the City" by Gwendolyn Brooks primarily use the following poetic elements:

  1. Enjambment - This is when a line of poetry continues without a paused end into the next line. The lines provided exhibit this characteristic.
  2. Alliteration - This is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words, and it appears in the phrase "Desert and my dear relief."

These two elements are significant in these lines.
