Question
choose the poem that uses alliteration.
the clouds had made a crimson crown
about the mountains high.
the stormy sun was going down
in a stormy sky.
three paces in the moonlights glow i stand,
and here within the twilight beats my heart.
im not asking you to finish
but—to start.
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words. In the first poem, we see "crimson" and "crown" (both start with "c"), "stormy" and "sun" (both start with "s"), "stormy" and "sky" (both start with "s"), and "stormy" repeated. The second poem has no such consistent initial consonant repetition. So the first poem uses alliteration.
