Alliteration is the repetition > of a particular consonant sound at the beginning of multiple words. > Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds elsewhere in multiple > words, and assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. Traci Brimhall’s > poem “A Group of Moths” provides a great example of these poetic devices > at work, with each line playing with different sounds that seem to move > the poem along on a sonorous wave.
