In poetry, alliteration is a literary device commonly used to create rhyme and rhythm through the repetition of consonant sounds in words that appear next to each other or that are close, usually in the same verse. Additionally, alliteration differs from other types of rhyme, because in alliteration the repetition of sounds occurs in the first syllable of words rather than at the end of them as in ordinary rhyme. Considering this, the ones that are examples of alliteration are "world too wide", because the consonant sound of "w" is repeated in words that are placed together and this repetition occurs with the first syllable of the words; similarly in "Shrunk shank" alliteration occurs with the repetition of the sound "sh".
