Question: Emily Dickinson "If you were coming in fall"!?
read the following poem and give 3 example of "slant rhyme" and 3 example of "exact rhyme" if u r answers wright i ll tell every one how smart you are!.


If you were coming in the Fall,
I'd brush the Summer by
With half a smile, and half a spurn,
As Housewives do, a Fly!.

If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls—
And put them each in separate Drawers,
For fear the numbers fuse—

If only Centuries, delayed,
I'd count them on my Hand,
Subtracting, till my fingers dropped
Into Van Dieman's Land!.

If certain, when this life was out—
That yours and mine, should be
I'd toss it yonder, like a Rind,
And take Eternity—

But, now, uncertain of the length
Of this, that is between,
It goads me, like the Goblin Bee—
That will not state—its sting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Exact end rhyme

by
Fly

Hand
Land

internally

and
Hand
Land


Otherwise it's all slant rhyme (lots more than this if internal be counted)

balls
fuse

be
Eternity [arguably exact rhyme, except that "be" is accented and the same sound in "Eternity" is not]

between
sting

Hand
&
Land
Rind

balls
