ACTIVITY 3

ASSONANCE

This is the repetition of vowel sounds in words of the same line in a poem. This recurrence of vowel sounds may or may not be systematic.

Example

Crows on the wing!

What grace as they swing,

Rising and diving ...................repetition of the vowel sound /ai/

Like a fish in the billows,.................... repetition of the vowel sound /I/

In the willowy air;

Or softly as feathers

From broken pillows.
