    This document defines and provides examples of common poetic devices including alliteration, rhyme, onomatopoeia, personification, metaphor, and simile. Alliteration uses repeating sounds at the beginning of words. Rhyme uses similar sounding words at the end. Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds. Personification gives human traits to non-human things. A metaphor compares two things without using "like" or "as" while a simile uses "like" or "as" to explicitly compare two things.
