ALLITERATION in a POEM


ALLITERATION, like RHYME,  is also used in a poem for sound effect. Several words in the sentence may begin with the same letter of the alphabet  or syllable sound.


FOR EXAMPLE: In the sentence, "MANY MINUTE MINIATURE MOMENTS," the sound of the alphabet "M" is repeated in all the four words continuously. When you say these words aloud, the sound effect generated is called ALLITERATION.


ALLITERATION occurs when initial vowel sounds are repeated through several words.
