Poetry Terms: Assonance ♥


DEFINITION
The repetition of the vowel sounds of two words or more.


EXAMPLE
- Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese
- Try to light the fire


SIGNIFICANCE
Like alliteration, assonance isn't necessary to be used. It makes the poem sound better and funnier. When you hear things that sound the same continuously, you'd find it entertaining and humorous.
