Assonance

=Definition= The repetition of vowel sounds in conjunction with dissimilar consonant sounds. (This second part is not as important for you to understand) =Notable Examples:=
 * Ezra Pound's short poem, "In a Station of the Metro" uses assonance at the end of the two lines instead of rhyme (I've highlighted the vowel sounds that make the assonance):

The apparition of these faces in the cr**ow** d; Petals on a wet, black b**ough**.


 * An example from [|Poets.org]: "I r**o **se and t**o **ld him of my w**oe **."
