What poetic device does the poet use in these lines from “Cautionary Tale of Girls and Birds of Prey”?

English
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]4 years ago

These lines contain an alliteration.

"Soon, her father grew impatient with her fear and began to bait the bird with offerings of bloody chunks of beef."

An alliteration uses repetitive sounds, letter combinations, or words that begin with the same letters. They are also known as tongue-twisters.

We also know that these lines do <em>not</em> rhyme, do <em>not</em> contain any metaphors, and do <em>not</em> form a narrative.
