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)
So what is the actual effect of assonance?
Whoopty poopty swoopty whoopty
yeah thats about right
Best example I know is….
Moses supposes his toeses are roses, but Moses supposes eroneously.
For nobody’s toeses are poses of roses, as Moses supposes his toeses to be.
The rain in Spain lies mainly on the plain.
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.
that was fire
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”
😳ok….
Such a lyrical writer. Thank you for sharing! I love Kendrick !
A slow blow

Thou still unravished bride of quietness
Thou foster child of silence and slow time
