It’s called alliteration.

Alliteration
We use it to make our writing sound more exciting.
Alliteration is the repetition of the first consonant sound. There
should be at least two repetitions in a row.
Drew Driscol drew a drawing of dreaded Dracula.

How many repetitions can you see in this sentence? There are 6.

Does this sentence make sense?

Drew Driscol drew a drawing of dreaded Dracula.

The sentence has a subject, verb and an object.
