  5. Alliteration • The repetition of initial (starting) sounds in neighbouring words. • Curious cats crouch on the window sillWatching unwaveringly through the glassAs blue birds fly by.Curious cats areAlmost two headed in a sensitive sense,Still alert and awareOf the running, rotten rats behind them.

  6. Slant Rhyme • Also known as half-rhyme or near rhyme • The repetition of consonant sounds in neighbouring words When have I last looked on The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies Of the dark leopards of the moon? All the wild witches, those most noble ladies,

  10. The Red Wheelbarrow By William Carlos Williams So much depends on the red wheelbarrow Glazed with rain water Beside the white chickens

  11. one inch tall by Shel SilversteinIf you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school. The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool. A crumb of cake would be a feast And last you seven days at least, A flea would be a frightening beast If you were one inch tall. If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door, And it would take about a month to get down to the store. A bit of fluff would be your bed, You'd swing upon a spider's thread, And wear a thimble on your head If you were one inch tall. You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum. You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb. You'd run from people's feet in fright, To move a pen would take all night, (This poem took fourteen years to write-- 'Cause I'm just one inch tall).

  12. And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street By Dr. Seuss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSYIQXEBZSs
