Assonance

A few weeks ago, alliteration was the poetry topic. This week it’s assonance. According to the Oxford Dictionary: Assonance (noun) in poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in non-rhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible.
I received this bit of assonance from Parker McCoy, author of the Fairfax & Glew series. You can find Parker McCoy’s books on Amazon.

Another good one from Parker McCoy!
