Assonance

Assonance:
When sounds in the middle of words sound similar.

Usage:
If I bleat when I speak it's because I just got . . . fleeced.

Importance:
Assonance is very similar to rhyme, so just like rhyme, assonance helps to create rhythm to a poem, which makes the poem more interesting, enjoyable and funny.
