poetry rhymes with another word in the same or adjacent lines, as in

"houses")
◉ Eye rhyme. Answer: Involves words that don't actually rhyme but
look like they do because of their similar spelling ("cough" and
"bough")

is unstressed or unaccented ("ocean" and "motion")

sounds through a sequence of words
◉ Consonance. Answer: The repetition of certain consonant sounds
in close proximity (e.g. mishmash)
◉ Assonance. Answer: The repetition of vowel sounds in a sequence
of words with different endings—for example, "The dEath of the
poEt was kEpt from his poEms"
◉ Anaphora. Answer: Figure of speech involving the repetition of
the same word or phrase in (and especially at the beginning of)
successive lines, clauses, or sentences, as in "It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom..."
