What is an Acrostic Poem?

D.istinctive character

A.ctive and
T.ense animal
Alliteration: When I think of alliteration, I think of the two ll’s in alliteration. Alliteration is the same kind of sound at the beginning of the word. For example, “Sally sold some seashells by the sea shore”. The use of alliteration does not have to be at the beginning of every word, and adds more of a sense of rhythm to the poem.
Assonance: As if the opposite of alliteration, assonance is what happens in the middle of the word, or a repetition identical or similar vowel sounds, also focusing on the use of stressed and unstressed syllables in a word.
