Yes, "dying tiger - moaned for drink" is an example of alliteration because the "m" sound is repeated at the beginning of both words.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. In "The Cremation of Sam McGee," assonance can be found in lines like "of Sam McGee," where the short "e" sound is repeated. This helps create a musical and rhythmic quality to the poem.

"Consonance" is not a work by William Shakespeare. However, Shakespeare is known for his plays, sonnets, and other poetic works that explore themes of love, power, and human nature.

In William Shakespeare's "The Seven Ages of Man," the use of consonance is evident in phrases like "acts and thence," "whining schoolboy," and "sans teeth, sans everything." Consonance involves the repetition of consonant sounds, adding musicality and emphasis to the poem.

In the "Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare, the alliteration examples include "whining schoolboy" and "sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." These alliterations help create rhythm and emphasize certain stages of life.

An example of alliteration in the book "Glory Field" is "beanbags bulging and bursting." This phrase uses the repetition of the "b" sound to create a musical and rhythmic effect in the text.

Acrostic poems are relatively simple to write, but like all poetry, it is an art form to get what you want to express exactly right.

In this case, the poem could be as simple as

Reaching

Outward...

Summoning

Emotion

Some people who do Acrostic poems insist on only one word per line (each line starting with a letter of the word you are using), but others allow several words, thus:

Radiating heat,

Overpowering strength...

Such words as "love"

Exceed the confines of language.

Tall

trees

No, "calm crystal clear" is not considered alliteration because the repetition of sounds must occur at the beginning of words in close proximity. In this phrase, the repeated sounds are at the beginning of each word but they are not consecutive.

An example of alliteration would be: Sally came to the sea shore to sell shorts and flip flops.

Some poetic devices in the song "Eye of the Tiger" include metaphor ("eye of the tiger" symbolizing strength and determination), imagery (descriptions of rising up and facing challenges), and alliteration (repetition of the "t" sound in "tiger" and "fight").

An alliteration is a phrase that contains the same letters or sounds over and over, like "the purple pansies paled when picked." The sentence you quoted does not show this.

Poetic Techniques is what the poet uses in his/her poems. E.g. Rhythm, alliteration, iambic pentameter. etc.

The assonance in the word "cute" is the "oo" sound, which is repeated in the word. This repetition of the vowel sound creates a musical quality in the word.

The assonance between "fast" and "pants" in these lines from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge echoes the sound of someone breathing quickly or panting, which conveys a sense of urgency or agitation. This assonance enhances the feeling of tension and excitement in the poem's imagery.

In the book "The Great Gilly Hopkins" by Katherine Paterson, the alliteration used includes phrases like "sneaky snake" and "tricky target." Alliteration is a literary device where words in a sentence have the same beginning consonant sound for emphasis or effect.

One example of alliteration in "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is when Dr. Roylott is described as a "huge man" with a "high bald head." This repetition of the "h" sound in "huge" and "high" is an example of alliteration.

The assonance in the "Seven Ages of Man" poem by William Shakespeare can be found in lines such as "the mewling and puking" and "the last scene of all." Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words.

Some sweet smells are wafting through the kitchen door.

The alliteration words in the "Seven Ages of Man" speech by William Shakespeare include "mewling and puking" and "whining schoolboy." These are examples of alliteration, which is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words.

The line that shows alliteration in the poem "The Lake of the Dismal Swamp" by Thomas Moore is: "Where the tortoise roams, and the snake is seen." The repetition of the "s" sound in "snake" and "seen" creates alliteration.

Yes, the phrase "bitterly betrayed" uses alliteration with the repeated 'b' sound.
