Explanation

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighbouring words. The poem contains several examples: the 'g' sound in 'got a garden,' the 's' sounds throughout (stones, sundial, strange, standing), 'p' sounds (plants, puts, pin), and 'f' sounds (flower, for). These create musical quality and emphasize key words.
