Can someone help me scan a poem for assonance?

Capitilize the examples of assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds)



Slap. Clap.



The lake's back



laps the flat



boat. Croak,



goes a frog,



croak. Flo-



tillas of vanilla



water lilies



float. Moats

of air flare,



filled with day diamonds,



flame. Tame



turtles lurch



like dreadnoughts



across murky



floors. Oars



dig dingles



in the sun-shingles



roof of the water.



Pines shine,



singing their green creeds.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in a poem. So in this poem most lines have vowel sounds that repeat. Sometimes it is the sound of a long vowel, and sometimes a short vowel.



In this poem you have the words boat, croak, goes, flotilla, float, and moats all with the long O sound.



Day, flame, and tame all have long A.



Slap, clap, back, lap and flat all have short A



Floors, oars



turtles, lurch, murky



dig, dingles, shingles



pines, shine



green, creeds.



I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Depending what your teacher wants, these also have the same vowel sound: Fr*O*g, dreadn*OU*ghts, acr*O*ss, w*A*ter. Also "of" and "sun." Please ask. I don't think your teacher expects you to mark every "the" and "a" as vowels in between, but it's better to ask. At the very least, it will show an effort to study this in detail.
