What is a example of sound devices in poetry?

Alliteration: the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words or stressed syllables.

Example:

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

Assonance: the repetition of vowel sounds within words.

Example:

"The cat sat on the mat"

Consonance: the repetition of consonant sounds within words, not confined to the beginning of words.

Example:

"She sells seashells down by the seashore"

Onomatopoeia: a word that imitates the sound it describes.

Example:

"The buzzing bee"

Rhyme: the repetition of identical or similar sounds at the ends of words or lines.

Example:

"Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you."
