Poetry Terms: Assonance

Definition Alliteration's family. The repetition of vowel sounds in words that are close together.

Example

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

Dead in the middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't do diddily.

And murmuring of innumerable bees.

Significance Assonance is like alliteration, or the tongue twisters game. It makes the poem more alive and who can do it are awesome, just like one of you. I promise you this will be fun, add to your poems and go fopdoodle [silly]
