Why is alliteration used in poetry?
Somebody didn’t like my ‘sfx’ and removed it, but that’s the to ‘why’. Alliteration is one of many kinds of special effects of language that occur in poetry to create a mood, add music, color, and texture, emphasize something, evoke an auditory or visual experience, and so on. Rhyme, meter, assonance, consonance, and onomatopoeia are some others.
