| alliteration |
This is the recurrence of initial consonant sounds within a sentence or line of a poem. Often several words are placed next to each other and are alliterated into one sentence. This is useful for emphasis as well as expressing particular emotions. Example: from Shelley's "The Cloud": "I bear light shade for the leaves when laid." One can also build an alliterative phrase from "Create Your Own Shakespearean Insults" (Maguire): beef-witted beetle-headed beslubbering boar-pig. --Caroline Coleman
