Snippet:
ASSONANCE/ALLITERATION
Assonance/Alliteration –
Here’a a bit of information
If you’d like to keep them straight,
Consonants alliterate:
Pa put peppers on Pat’s plate.
Vowels instead are assonant:
Pa want almonds for Ma’s aunt.
Sometimes they appear together:
Wes wed Wendy in wet weather.

Anastasia, thanks for sharing this sweet book. I really like the assonance / alliteration poem by Hoberman.
Thank you for yet another great poetry resource!
Thank you for this recommendation. Another book for my ‘to be read’ pile next to my bed that is leaning dangerously, threatening to crush me in my sleep.
