Assonance
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within a short passage of verse or prose.
Assonance is more a feature of verse than prose. It is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and Celtic languages.
Examples
- Try to light the fire.
- He gave a nod to the officer with the pocket.
- fleet feet sweep by sleeping geeks.
