Consonance
Consonance is the repetition of similar ending consonant sounds of several
words. Writers use this technique to highlight elements of their writing
and to make their writing musical.
Humming and Hammering at your ear
The city hymning sound
And all is seared with trade;
bleared, smeared with toil.
Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is the careful selection and use of words which sound similar
to the objects or the events they name.
The drip, drip, drip of the water droplets
caused George to nod off to sleep.
The snow went kur-splat as it landed
on the pavement.
