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.
