The poetic elements you're describing are:

  1. Alliteration: This refers to the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of two or more words close to each other in a line or short section. For example, "She sells sea shells by the sea shore."

  2. Consonance: This describes the repetition of the same consonant sound appearing anywhere in several words in a line or section of text, not just at the beginning. For example, in the phrase "pitter-patter," the "t" and "r" sounds are examples of consonance.

These elements enhance the musical quality of poetry and contribute to its overall rhythm and texture.
