alliteration

"Alliteration" is a word from the world of language and writing. It has essentially one main meaning, but it's a concept that shows up in poetry, advertising, literature, and everyday speech more often than you might expect!

Alliteration is when two or more words in a row (or close together) start with the same sound. Think of 'Peter Piper picked a peck' that repeated 'p' sound at the beginning of each word is alliteration. Writers and poets use it to make language sound musical, memorable, or fun.
