    consonant sounds in a sequence of
    words, usually at the beginning of
    a word or stressed syllable:
    Alliteration “descending dew drops;” “luscious
    lemons.” Alliteration is based on
    the sounds of letters, rather than
    the spelling of words; for example,
    “keen” and “car” alliterate, but
    “car” and “cite” do not.
    is the repetition of
    similar internal vowel
    sounds in a sentence
    Assonanc
    e
    or a line of poetry, as
    in “I rose and told him
    of my woe.”
    is a form of language use in
    which the writers and

    tactile (something felt), olfactory
    (something smelled), or gustatory
    (something tasted). Imagery may

    details in a poem.
    is the repetition of identical or similar
    concluding syllables in different
    words, most often at the ends of lines.
    Rhyme is predominantly a function of
    sound rather than spelling; thus,
    words that end with the same vowel
    Rhyme sounds rhyme, for instance, day, prey,
    bouquet, weigh, and words with the
    same consonant ending rhyme, for
    instance vain, rein, lane. The rhyme
