Assonace

Assonance
Definition: The repetition of vowel sounds in words that are chose together to create rhyming.

Example:  
Hear the mellow wedding bells,
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight!

Significance:
Assonance isn't necessary to be used. It helps the poem to be sound better and funnier. Assonance also can effect the mood and tone of poems.
