Is there alliterations in introduction to poetry by billy Collins?

While Billy Collins' "Introduction to Poetry" is a poem full of beautiful and clever imagery, it doesn't actually contain any traditional alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, like "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

Here's why you might think it does, and what it actually uses instead:

* Rhyme: The poem uses a lot of rhyme, specifically an ABAB rhyme scheme. This might give the impression of alliteration because similar sounds are close together, but it's not the same thing. For example, "walk" and "talk" rhyme, but they don't alliterate because the "w" and "t" sounds are different.

* Assonance: The poem also uses assonance, which is the repetition of vowel sounds. This can be subtle and contribute to a sense of rhythm and flow.
