What is Alliteration?
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in
two or more neighboring words or syllables.
Also known as Initial Rhyme.
Here are some examples:• the wild winds of winter• Peter Piper picked a peck of
pickled peppers.
Let’s look at another example…
WEATHER Whether the weather be
fineOr whether the weather
be not,Whether the weather be
coldOr whether the weather
be hot,We'll weather the
weatherWhatever the weather,Whether we like it or
not. -- Anonymous
The railroad tracks ran right through the center of town.
Alliteration makes the reader read faster.
Alliterative poems tend to be tongue twisters. They are
written for the fun they bring when they are read!
She sells seashells by the seashore!
Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound.
For example, never and knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound.
Conversely, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t
begin with the same consonant sound. http://alliteration.net/field5.htm

“A Mystery of Heroism”“As the eyes of half the regiment swept in one machine-like movement, there was an instant's picture of a horse in a great convulsive leap of a death-wound and a rider leaning back with a crooked arm and spread fingers before his face. On the ground was the crimson terror of an exploding shell, with fibers of flame that seemed like lances.” (p. 50)
