Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with alliteration and consonance〔(Khurana, Ajeet "Assonance and Consonance" Outstanding Writing )〕 serves as one of the building blocks of verse. Assonance does not have to be a rhyme; the identity of which depends merely on sequence of both vowel and consonant sounds. Thus, assonance is a resemblance of units that are generally less than a syllable. Assonance occurs more often in verse than in prose.
