Assonance is a literary technique that involves the repetition of similar vowel sounds within words that are close in proximity. To find an example of assonance in a poem, you can follow these steps:
1. Choose a poem that you are interested in analyzing for assonance.
2. Read the poem carefully, paying attention to the sounds and patterns of the words in each line.
3. Look for words that contain repeating vowel sounds.
4. Identify a line or stanza where these words are used in close succession.
For example, let's consider the following excerpt from the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe:
"It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;"
In these lines, the vowel sound of the word "sea" reoccurs throughout the stanza. This repetition of the long "e" sound, specifically in the words "sea" and "Lee" creates assonance.
