Sound poetry is an artistic form bridging literacy and musical composition, in which the phonetic aspects of human speech are foregrounded instead of more conventional semantic and syntactic values; "verse without words". By definition, sound poetry is intended primarily for performance.
How do you describe the sound of a poem?
Assonance is the repetition of the same vowel sound in words near each other. Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of words near each other. Onomatopoeia means a word resembles the meaning sound it represents. Rhyme requires two or more words that repeat the same sounds..
