Assonance Confusion...

As most of you realized, Assonance poems, which focus around the repetition of vowel sounds, are somewhat difficult to write.  Their cousin, Alliteration poems, which focus around the repetition of consonant sounds, are a lot easier. 

Look at my example:

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride.

Look at all of the long "I" vowel sounds.

Remember when you are writing your Assonance poem:

* Focus on a long or short vowel sound.
* Each line could have a different repeated vowel sound - you don't need to have to the same vowel sound throughout the entire poem.
* It can be about any topic - even if it doesn't necessarily make complete sense!
* It must have a corresponding illustration.
