I was wondering if anyone could help explain what "assanance" is. My Professor told us its repeating a vowel sound....but does that just mean rhyming? Chaunt/huant? or does it have to be a vowel sound that is repeated throughout the poem???

Assonance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within a short passage of verse or prose.

Assonance is more a feature of verse than prose. It is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and Celtic languages.
[edit]

Examples

* Try to light the fire.
* He gave a nod to the officer with the pocket.
* fleet feet sweep by sleeping geeks.
