Answer:
Alliteration is a literary device that repeats a speech sound in a sequence of words that are close to each other. Alliteration typically uses consonant sounds at the beginning of a word to give stress to its syllable. This technique plays a crucial role in poetry by lending a strong rhythm and musical structure to any verse.
Alliteration in Children's Rhymes
Tongue twisters can be a fun way to introduce children to alliteration, but stumble on your rhythm and they can be tricky to get right. How quickly can you recite "Peter Piper"?
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
Mother Goose poems typically contain a great deal of alliteration. Poems with alliteration can be easier to memorize, which is why adults are often able to easily recall the nursery rhymes associated with their childhood. Consider the alliteration of the "b" sounds in "Betty Botter."
Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "the butter's bitter;
If I put it in my batter,
It will make my batter bitter;
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she put it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter;
So it was better that Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter
Shel Silverstein frequently used alliteration in his poems for children to create a fanciful tone, even when it meant creating nonsense words. "The Gnome, The Gnat, & The Gnu" repeats the "gn" sound throughout the verse.
I saw an ol' gnome
Take a gknock at a gnat
Who was gnibbling the gnose of his gnu.
I said, "Gnasty gnome,
Gnow, stop doing that.
That gnat ain't done gnothing to you."
He gnodded his gnarled ol' head and said,
"'Til gnow I gnever gnew
That gknocking a gnat
In the gnoodle like that
Was gnot a gnice thing to do."
Dr. Seuss used alliteration to make his books fun to read and listen to, though like tongue twisters, read too quickly and you could find yourself tripping over your tongue. Consider this passage from Fox in Socks:
Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze. That's what made these three free fleas sneeze.
Alliteration in Poetry
William Shakespeare's work frequently featured alliteration. There are several examples in Romeo and Juliet, but his poetry often used alliteration too. In "Sonnet 5," for example, the "b" sound in beauty, bareness, and bereft set a romantic tone. In the last line, the "s" in show, substance, and sweet provide a soothing rhythm:
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter and confounds him there,
Sap checked with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness everywhere.
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it nor no remembrance what it was.
But flowers distilled, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe uses alliteration in word pairs. In the first three lines of the poem, there are three examples: weak/weary, quaint/curious, and nodded/nearly napping.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, -
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.
Birches" by Robert Frost repeats the "b" sound throughout the first four lines to emphasize the dominant theme of the poem.
When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay.
"Much Madness Is Divinest Sense" by Emily Dickinson uses alliteration of the "m" sound in the title. This is repeated in the poem itself to encourage readers to contemplate what it means to be mad.
Much Madness is divinest Sense -
To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense -- the starkest Madness -
'Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail -
Assent - and you are sane -
Demur - you're straightway dangerous -
And handled with a Chain -
