Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing  

In the poem “The Busy Breeze,” alliteration is used effectively by repeating the ‘b’ sound in many words, such as “breezy breeze,” “big bold trees,” and “birds boldly burst.” This repetition of consonant sounds creates a musical and rhythmic effect, making the poem enjoyable to read aloud. The repeated ‘b’ sound also adds energy and liveliness, matching the movement of the breeze and the activity of the birds. Alliteration helps to emphasize important words and creates a smooth flow between lines. Overall, it enhances both the rhythm and the cheerful mood of the poem.
