  1. Sound Devices Poetry

  2. Alliteration 2Pac was one of the pioneers of alliteration in rap, and he uses it to especially powerful effect by choosing hard sounds like “puh” and “kuh” and “buh” and “duh” to make him sound tough. Cam'ron, another artist whose flow is both musical and tough, often uses alliteration. From To Live & Die in L.A.: Blind to a broken man’s dream, a hard lessonCourt cases keep me guessin‘ From Killa Cam: The hooligan in Houlihan'sManeuverin’snothin‘ new to me

  3. Alliteration Words begin with the same consonant sound She sells seashells by the seashore The repetition of initial consonant sounds in stressed syllables: the fair breeze blew, the white foam flew

  4. Onomatopoeia A word sounds the same as its meaning The cat meowed. The use of a word whose sound imitates its meaning.

  5. Consonance • In consonance, words share the same consonant sound, but have different vowel sounds. From Jay-Z’s “D'Evils”: • I’m trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot

  6. Consonance The final consonant sound of important words sound the same First and last Odds and ends Short and sweet The repetition of final consonant sound in stressed syllables of words with different vowel sounds.

  7. ASsonance Here’s some assonance from Jay-Z on “A Star is Born” — notice how the rhymes at the end of the lines are imperfect but work because of the shared vowel sound of “ay”: Rae’ took on the datewith the Purple TapePassed on to Ason and then Ghostface

  8. assonance The vowel sounds of important words sound the same. It beats, it sweeps, it cleans. Long vowel sounds increase energy. He slips timidly on tiptoe. Soft vowel sounds soften the mood. The repetition of similar vowel sounds in stressed syllables that end with different consonants.

  9. Cacophony Using harsh sounds to make an impression. The use of harsh or discordant sounds for poetic effect.

  10. Player Piano • My stick fingers click with a snicker • And, chuckling, they knuckle the keys; • Light footed, my steel feelers flicker • And pluck from these keys melodies. • My paper can caper; abandon • Is broadcast by dint of my din, • And no man or band has a hand in • The tones I turn on from within. • At times I'm a jumble of rumbles, • At others I'm light like the moon, • But never my numb plunker fumbles, • Misstrums me, or tries a new tune. • -John Updike- New Yorker 1954
