      1. Alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. For example, “And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows;”

      2. Assonance: a figure of speech that is characterized by the use of words having similar vowel sounds consecutively. For example, lines four and five’s “echo” and “blows” have extended “o” sounds. It reappears with the word “flows” one line later.
