What is the term for a repetition of vowel sounds followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables.?

The term for a repetition of vowel sounds followed by different consonants in two or more stressed syllables is assonance.

Here's a breakdown:

* Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds within words, but with different consonants.

* Example: "The sea shells seem to speak to me." (Repetition of the short "e" sound)

It's important to distinguish assonance from consonance, which is the repetition of consonant sounds.
