Charlene, I am familiar with the term onomatopoeia, and "twittering" definitely fits the description. I think Gaby's reference to alliteration may also fit?...the "T" sound in Twittering and Trees. And now that we have analyzed this one to death, I still like the line and what it calls to mind. I'll leave the rest of the comments on alliteration, onomatopoeia, etc. to all of you more literarily educated.
