Sound Devices in Poetry

The video tutorial explores four key sound devices in poetry: alliteration, assonance, rhyme, and onomatopoeia. Alliteration involves repeating consonant sounds at the start of words, while assonance focuses on vowel sounds within words. Rhyme is the similarity of ending sounds, and onomatopoeia uses words that mimic sounds. These devices enhance the rhythm, musicality, and emphasis in poetry.
