    This document discusses various poetic devices including alliteration, rhyme, onomatopoeia, personification, metaphor, and simile. Alliteration uses repetition of initial consonant sounds, rhyme uses words that sound alike, and onomatopoeia uses words that mimic their meanings. Personification gives human qualities to non-living things, metaphor compares two things without using "like" or "as", and simile compares two things using "like" or "as". These poetic devices help play with sound and meaning in songs, rhymes, and poems.
