Entry#17: VOWELS

 



Assonance - the repetition of the sound of a vowel that create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences.

Example:
“Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far.
 It is among the oldest of living things.
So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.”

Significant – Assonance examples are sometimes hard to find, because they work subconsciously sometimes, and are subtle. The long vowel sounds will slow down the energy and make the mood more somber, while high sounds can increase the energy level of the piece.
