Question
which lines from \sonnet in primary colors\ by rita dove provide an example of a rhyme?
\this is for the woman with one black wing / perched over her eyes: lovely frida, erect\
\her spine resides in, that flaming pillar— / this priestess in the romance of mirrors.\
\to the celluloid butterflies of her beloved dead, / lenin and marx and stalin arrayed at the footstead.\
\love a skull in the circular window / of the thumbprint searing her immutable brow.\
Rhyme occurs when words have the same ending sound. In the line "love a skull in the circular window / of the thumbprint searing her immutable brow", "window" and "brow" do not rhyme. In "to the celluloid butterflies of her Beloved dead, / Lenin and Marx and Stalin arrayed at the footstead", "dead" and "footstead" do not rhyme. In "her spine resides in, that flaming pillar— / this priestess in the romance of mirrors", there is no rhyme. But in "This is for the woman with one black wing / perched over her eyes: lovely Frida, erect", "wing" and "erect" do not rhyme. Wait, no - let's check again. Wait, actually, looking at the last option: "love a skull in the circular window / of the thumbprint searing her immutable brow" - no. Wait, no, hold on. Wait the first option: "wing" and "erect" - no. Second: no. Third: "dead" (pronounced /dɛd/) and "footstead" (/ˈfʊtˌstɛd/) - the ending sounds are similar (the -ed sound). So there is a rhyme here.
