या अलंकारात ननजीव, अनुपनथित, काल्पननक गोष्टी सजीव आहेत असे समजून नवधान केलेले असते.
 e.g.Please open up my eyes, dear Lord,
                        Help, Lord, to just say “no”

2.Alliteration (अनुप्रास अलंकार):
Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning (Consonant) sounds of neighboring words.
या अलंकारात भाषेचा गोडवा, सौंदयय, गेयता वाढवण्याकरता समान व्यंजन ध्वनींची पुनरारुत्ती केली जाते.
