Read the excerpt from "I Am Offering This Poem."
It's all I have to give,
and all anyone needs to live,
and to go on living inside,
when the world outside
no longer cares if you live or die;
remember,
I love you.
How does the poet create a sense of rhythm in this
excerpt?
Oby using a clear pattern for rhyming words
O by writing lines that are similar in length
by repeating the word "and" in lines 2 and 3
O by creating a pattern for stressing syllables
