#NaPoWriMo
And now for our (optional) prompt. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that involves alliteration, consonance, and assonance. Alliteration is the repetition of a particular consonant sound at the beginning of multiple words. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds elsewhere in multiple words, and assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds. Traci Brimhall’s poem “A Group of Moths” provides a great example of these poetic devices at work, with each line playing with different sounds that seem to move the poem along on a sonorous wave.
Your poem doesn’t have to be as complex as all that, though. Just pick a consonant or two and a vowel and dive right into the wonderful world (hey, there’s some alliteration/consonance/assonance right there) of sound.
Happy writing!

WE LIVE TO WRITE
In a world that is mad, bad, and dangerous to know:
Cold, callous, cruel constellations circle the crystal cosmos.
If you look in the book, you'll find the hook,
that took my breath away.
Fewer viewers skewer newer figures.
The muse made off with the mad monk from Manchester.
We live to write another poem, another day.
