Alliteration

Definition


The repetition of consonant soundsin words that are close together. Although alliteration usually occurs at the begining of words, it can also occur within or at the end of words.  

Example
Rain races,
Ripping like wind.
Its restless rage
Rattle like
Rocks ripping through
The air.

Significance
Alliteration gives poems imagery and makes poems more memorable and interested to read.
