ALLITERATION

ALLITERATION
The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of a word.


Examples From Literature:

"The old unseen serpent swallows up the stars."
From "The Starry Night," a poem from All My Pretty Ones (1962) by Anne Sexton.


"Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;"
From "The Raven" by Edger Allen Poe; published in 1845 in the New York Evening Mirror.


My Examples:

Cranky Captain Crunch can't catch catfish constantly.

Elephants eat everything edible!
