Alliterative poems tend to be tongue twisters. They are
written for the fun they bring when they are read!

Rules for Alliteration
![Page 9: Alliteration. What is Alliteration? Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables. Also known.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55169a0e550346f6208b4a20/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound.
For example, never and knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound.
Conversely, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t
begin with the same consonant sound. http://alliteration.net/field5.htm

Alliteration is NOT just repeating consonant sounds at the beginning of words, it could be in the middle of a
word. This is also known as “consonance.”
![Page 11: Alliteration. What is Alliteration? Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables. Also known.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/55169a0e550346f6208b4a20/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Consonance is a lot like alliteration, except the
letters being repeated can appear at the beginning or
at the end of the word.
Example:1. More men came home
that day than we ever expected.
2. She gave the big dog a hug.

geeks.
