**alliteration** - the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words or within words

Five *m*iles *m*eandering with *m*azy *m*otion - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Kubla Khan)

The turtle lives ‘twixt plated decks In a somer seson whan soft was the sonne, Which partially conceal its sex. I shope me in shroudes as I a shepe were, I think it clever of the turtle In habite as an hermite unholy of workes, In such a fix to be so fertile. Went wyde in this world wondres to here.

- Ogden Nash (“The Turtle”) - William Langland ("Piers the Plowman")

 

* Notice the repetition of the “t” sound * Notice the repetition of the "s" sound and

and the “x” sound in “The Turtle.” "w" sound in "Piers the Plowman."

**assonance** - the close repetition of vowel sounds between different consonant sounds (they are not exact rhymes)

Wh*i*nnying, n*ei*ghed the m*a*ned blue w*i*nd - Edith Sitwell (“The Drum”)

“m*a*d *a*s a h*a*tter” “t*i*me out of m*i*nd” “fr*ee* and *ea*sy” “sl*a*pd*a*sh”
