ALLITERATION (also known as "tongue twisters")

Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant. There should be at least two repetitions in a row.

For example: "Now Peter Piper picked peppers and Run rocked Rhymes." (Run D-M-C)  The first letter, p, is a consonant. It is repeated many times. (If you use a syllable rather than a consonant, it is assonance.)
