Alliteration is a stylistic device, or literary technique, in which successive words (more strictly, stressed syllables) begin with the same consonant sound or letter. Alliteration is a frequent tool in poetry but it is also common in prose, particularly to highlight short phrases. Especially in poetry, it contributes to euphony of the passage, lending it a musical air. It may add a humorous effect. Related to alliteration are assonance, the repetition of vowel sounds, and consonance, the repetition of consonant sounds

Keeping with simplicity, an alliteration is a widely known and used skill in literature. It is the repitition of the initial consonaunts of two consecutive words,like-
'' lame limbo"

Alliteration is the same consonant sound repeated at the begging of several words in quick succession. The black bird begged to buy the baseball.

An alliteration, is a literary in which all your words in a particular phrase begin with the same sound.
Like, Lonely ladybugs lick lolly pops like lethargic lions...pretty good for off the top of my head...

Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant. There should be at least two repetitions in a row.
For example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. The first letter, p, is a consonant. It is repeated many times. (If you use a syllable rather than a consonant, it is assonance.)

It is a form of internal rhyme in a sentence.
It consists of the use of the same consonant sound at the beginning of two or more words in that sentence.
I'll give you an example that I just made up:
The S-hip was S-lowly S-ailing along the S-ilent S-hores.
I put in the dashes after the S's so that you can clearly see what I mean.

It's a literary technique when stressed words begin with the same sound or letter.
