Definition:
Assonance refers to repetition of sounds produced by vowels within a sentence or phrase. In this regard assonance can be understood to be a kind of alliteration. What sets it apart from alliterations is that it is the repetition of only vowel sounds. Assonance is the opposite of consonance, which implies repetitive usage of consonant sounds.
Example:
“A long song”. (Where the ‘o’ sound is repeated in the last two words of the sentence)
I see you in an I.C.U with feeding tubes filled with icy cubes.
Blood shut eyes like glue, love shot right through, on a dusk night through hazy lights I see two souls take flight underneath a bright sleet moon.
Im a huge Hip Hop head and Kendrick Lamar did a great job of this in the song Fight The Feeling.
“Sold your soul, I know, sold your soul and you’re hopeless
My focus, stare at elopin’ on boats that float in the open
On oceans that coast the line on the margins I rhyme, chokin’
Or Soakin’ up game, I’m hopin’
You picked the second one, change the emotion of jealousy that you’re holdin’
You’re telling me, that you’re golden, but really cubic zirconia”
A slow blow
bruh
bruh
Thou still unravished bride of quietness
Thou foster child of silence and slow time
Wouldn’t
” silent night,lonely night “be one
