Read the excerpt from the poem "Barbara Frietchie."
Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
What makes these rhyming couplets?
The words in each line present a complete thought.
The words "rich," "cool," and "green-walled" describe
the setting.
The words "clear" and "cool" start with the same
letter
The words at the end of each set sound alike.
