Read the excerpt from "the sonnet-ballad” by Gwendolyn Brooks.
Oh mother, mother, where is happiness?
They took my lover’s tallness off to war,
Left me lamenting. Now I cannot guess
What I can use an empty heart-cup for.
He won’t be coming back here any more.
What do the rhyming words emphasize?
a sense of loss and uncertainty
a sense of dread and helplessness
a sense of anger and resentment
a sense of embarrassment and annoyance
