In poetry what is it called when words having similar ending consonant sounds such as with soul and fall?

That's called consonance.

Consonance is a literary device where consonant sounds are repeated in a phrase or sentence, often at the end of words. It creates a sense of rhythm and harmony, and can also emphasize certain words or ideas.

Here are some other examples of consonance:

* "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" (repetition of the "p" sound)

* "The silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain" (repetition of the "s" sound)

* "The moan of doves in immemorial elms" (repetition of the "m" sound)

It's important to differentiate consonance from assonance, which is the repetition of vowel sounds.
