alliteration. It is a poetic device, not a style. For example, styles of poetry would be free verse, haiku, ballad, or sonnet. Hope this helps!

Fridays Flavours

By Paul McCann

Fridays foretaste frozen for freshness.
Fine fast food .

Fairly fried feasts from foreign fondues .
Finger food.

Fried flounder fetched from fish farms.
Fortified fluids.

Fantastic friends fingers falling for French fudges.

Feeding full flavours flourishing from flowing flames .

Friends forever
Footsteps finding floors.
Faceless frames

That is a poetic device called consonance. It is usually mistaken for alliteration, which is similar, but the words begin with the same vowel-sounds instead of consonants - "eating eager, evil emu."

Trabalenguas (Tongue twisters): The word "trabalengua" comes from the verb "trabar" (to jam) and the noun "lengua" (tongue). Trabalenguas are not only fun, but are a good way to learn how to pronounce a language !!!

An ALLITERATION is the word you are seeking. It is not a style of poetry more a technique.
The writer said, "Literate it!"
The poet said, "Alliterate it !",
The goat said, "Litter ? ate it !"
