Awake

Question

by A. Gautam

My mind is a starry night
Thoughts twinkle left and right
I try to shut them with all my might

But, my mind is a fish bazaar
Words come to me from near and far
Unstoppable even with an imaginary bar

Yes, my mind is a stormy sea
Ignorant to my own plea
Wide awake it wants to be

Which of these is true about this poem?
A.
Only the odd lines in each stanza share a rhyme.
B.
Every other line of each stanza shares a rhyme.
C.
The poem has the same end rhyme in all the lines.
D.
Within each stanza, all the lines end in the same rhyme.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Every other line of each stanza shares a rhyme.

In each stanza, the first and third lines share a rhyme, and the second line rhymes with the line that follows it. For example, in the first stanza, "night" and "might" rhyme, while "right" does not rhyme with them but relates closely to "left."
