« Onomatopoeia : The use of words that sound like what they mean (“buzz”, “boom”, ‘hiss”, “fizz”).
Example : (An Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope)
“When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw
The line too labors, and the words move slow
Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain,
Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main.

« Alliteration : The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words or at the beginning of accented syllables.
Example : (The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe )
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,”

Sudden crowings of laughter, monotonous drone of song;”

« Consonance : The repetition of final consonant sounds that are preceded by different vowel sounds.
Example : (Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost)
“Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.”

« Rhyme : The repetition of accented vowels and the sounds that follows.
Example : (The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe)
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door
Only this and nothing more."
