Can anyone tell me how rhyme scheme helps build the theme of "A Barred Owl"?

A Barred Owl

BY RICHARD WILBUR

The warping night air having brought the boom
Of an owl’s voice into her darkened room,
We tell the wakened child that all she heard
Was an odd question from a forest bird,
Asking of us, if rightly listened to,
“Who cooks for you?” and then “Who cooks for you?”

Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear,
Can also thus domesticate a fear,
And send a small child back to sleep at night
Not listening for the sound of stealthy flight
Or dreaming of some small thing in a claw
Borne up to some dark branch and eaten raw.


Notice that no more than two successive lines have the same rhyme. The rhyme scheme is
aabbcc ddeeff

How do you think this lack of repetition helps build the theme ... and what do you think the theme is?

well i think the theme is words are powerful. they can cause fears or vice versa. but i don't know how ryhme scheme helps build the theme

Re-state the theme in about 3 or 4 words.

Once you have clarified the theme, read only the last word in each line aloud, one right after the other. Yes, these are the rhyming words.

Read just those words aloud ... more than once. What do you hear in them that support the idea stated in your theme.

words are "clear" (line 7) and they can cause "domesticate a fear" (line 8)

How did you clarify and restate the theme?

boom

room
heard
bird
to
you

clear
fear
night
flight
claw
raw

How do those words reflect whatever the theme is that you've identified? If you cannot put the theme into a few words (no more than 5), you cannot adequately answer the question.
