ALLITERATION

◦ Girl gargoyle, guy gargoyle. ◦ One-one was a race horse. Two-two was one too. One-one won one race. Two-two won one too. ◦ A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

Alliteration ◦ The use of words that begin with the same sound near one another. ◦ EX. Babbling brook / Slivery snake ◦ The repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables. ◦ Poets use alliteration to create a pleasant, rhythmic effect.

Stars ◦ Set against shadowed skies, silver stars shined and shimmered. I savored them silently standing as in shackles, and surely their shine was seen in slight salience. As I was sinking into the season set before me in scenery, my shock shed. Soon, I sighed, and walked inside, and left the stars to signal another shrew to befriend. ◦ Josh Alfred
