The answer to the question above is "the reversed sentence structure" which is the modeled sentence structure of the sentences above. This sentence structure also called the inversion or the anastrophe. This structure can be written by making the verb in the front of the sentence. The purpose of this structure is to make a new rhyme without changing the sentence's meaning.
