Definition: the repetition of the sound of a vowel that create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences.
Example:
And frightful a nightfall folded rueful a day
Nor rescue, only rocket and lightship, shone,
And lives at last were washing away:
To the shrouds they took,—they shook in the hurling and horrible airs.
Is out with it! Oh,
We lash with the best or worst
Word last! How a lush-kept plush-capped sloe
Will, mouthed to flesh-burst,
Gush!—flush the man, the being with it, sour or sweet,
Brim, in a flash, full!—Hither then, last or first
Significance: It makes the poem sound funnier with the repetition vowels. It usually makes the reader laugh and entertains the reader.
