The repetition of consonant sounds in a series words?

The repetition of consonant sounds in a series of words is called consonance.

Here are some examples:

* 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 wild and woolly walrus wandered. (Repetition of the "w" sound)

Consonance is a literary device that can create a sense of rhythm, emphasis, and even a particular mood. It's often used in poetry and prose to enhance the overall effect of the language.
