Define alliteration and give an example from a poem or a prose.

Alliteration is a literary device that involves the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a series of words or phrases. It is used to create rhythm, emphasize certain words, or add musicality to the text.

Example from a poem:
"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." - This line from the nursery rhyme "Peter Piper" demonstrates alliteration as the "p" sound is repeated in multiple words.
