Solution

The poem that uses assonance is:

"There is a bird in the poplars—It is the sun! The leaves are little yellow fish Swimming in the river."

Assonance is a literary device where the vowel sound in a word is repeated within a line of poetry. In this poem, the long "i" sound in "bird" and "in" and the short "o" sound in "poplars" and "is" are examples of assonance. The long "e" sound in "leaves" and "little" and the short "i" sound in "fish" and "swimming" are also examples of assonance.
