DEFINITION: Multiple words that contain the same vowel sounds but different consonants.
EXAMPLE: Fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese
SIGNIFICANCE: Assonance is just like alliteration however, assonance refers to the vowel sounds. It can be seen in many poems that are based on assonance which makes it fun to read. I think assonance is a poetic device too along with metaphor, personification, etc.
