In the poem "Sea Fever" by John Masefield, where is alliteration especially strong?In the poem "Sea Fever" the author John Masefield uses...

Let us remember that alliteration is defined as the
repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words that lie next to each other or
close together. As your question identifies, alliteration is a key technique used by
poets to create word music, as it adds a song-like element to the poetry. Bearing this
definition in mind therefore, it is clear that the major alliteration that runs
throughout the poem is the repetition of the "w" sound in lines 3, 7 and
10:

And the
wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's
shaking...

And all I ask is a windy day with the white
clouds flying...

To the gull's way and the whale's way
where the wind's like a whetted
knife...

Of course, these
aren't the only examples of alliteration, but this is the major instance that stands out
as we study the poem. You might like to re-read the poem now and see if you can identify
other examples of alliteration. Good luck!
