29-34 notes

Alliteration- strictly speaking, is the repetition of initial sound of words in a line or lines of verse.

Sometimes alliteration includes the repetition of both intial sounds and interior sounds of words. It is also then consonance

Assonance- the repeition of vowel sounds within words in a line or lines of verse. In effect, such repetition creates near-rhyme.

In assonance, there are sibling sounds- also cousins, second cousincs, etc.

Onomatopoeia is the use of a word that, through its sound as well as its sense, represents what it defines.


Language is malleable; it is living, vibrant material, and every part of a poem works in conjuction with every other part.
