A poetic device is a plan or method of arranging words that allows poets to express

themselves to their readers. There are many different poetic devices, like repetition,
simile, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration etc.
I would like to elaborate more on ‘Alliteration’.
Alliteration is the repetition of sounds at the beginning of words. A common example is
the tongue twister "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." In this case, the "p"
sound came at the beginning of most of the words in the sentence.

To explain more, I’ll recite an extract from the poem ‘The Raven’

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, -
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.

In the first three lines of the poem, there are three examples of alliteration:
weak/weary, quaint/curious, and nodded/nearly napping.
As can be seen, it creates a rhythmic effect.
This literary device repeats a speech sound in a sequence of words that are close to
each other. This technique plays a crucial role in poetry by lending a strong rhythm and
musical structure to any verse.
The main reason to use alliteration in poetry is that it sounds pleasing. It’s a means to
get the attention of readers or listeners. It’s also a clear way to signify that the
alliterative words are linked together, and it puts a spotlight on the subject contained
therein.
Alliteration is a creative tool that gives poetry a memorable rhythm when recited. It's a
fun way to play with words that brings out the imagination of both writer and reader,
while appealing to children and adults alike. And therefore, it makes poems more
memorable.
Alliteration is one poetic device that truly makes it into the everyday. You’ll find it in
news headlines, TV show titles, advertising slogans and business names. Coca-Cola,
Dunkin’ Donuts, Krispy Kreme and Weight Watchers are just a few catchy alliteration
examples.
