Consonance Consonance is a well-suited to the informality of modern poetry. “first and last,” “hill and dale,” “stroke of luck,” in each of these pairs the words begin differently and have unlike vowel sounds; yet each pair “clicks” because of repeated consonant sounds, or consonance. Plus assonance and alliteration are the trio of rhyming devices that lend music and pattern to poetry.
