Alliterative Poems

Alliteration is a literary device that repeats a speech sound in a sequence of words that are close to each other. Alliteration typically uses consonants at the beginning of a word to give stress to its syllable. “You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife." (advertising slogan for Country Life butter)

Everyone please come up with an alliteration Everyone please come up with an alliteration. It should repeat the same consonant at least three times. Then you’ll share with the class. Example: Sadie’s sons now sit slowly since sitting the saddle so long. Note: The c in since is the same sound, but the s at the end of Sadie’s and sons are almost the same. They can still count, but they’re not exactly the same sound. That’s why they’re orange instead of red.

The following are alliterative poems The following are alliterative poems. The first two have the same alliteration throughout, but the last one has multiple smaller alliterations.

Dancing Dolphins By Paul McCann Those tidal thoroughbreds that tango through the turquoise tide. Their taut tails thrashing they twist in tribute to the titans. They twirl through the trek tumbling towards the tide . Throwing themselves towards those theatrical thespians.

Cipher Connected By Paul McCann Careless cars cutting corners create confusion. Crossing centrelines. Countless collisions cost coffins. Collect conscious change. Copy? Continue cautiously. Comply? Cool.

Examples from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe: Once upon a midnight dreary While I pondered weak and weary And the silken sad uncertain Rustling of each purple curtain Deep into that darkness peering, Long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal Ever dared to dream before

Competition Who can write the longest alliteration? Work in pairs or by yourselves. You have exactly 5 minutes to write the longest alliteration you can. Not every word has to contain the sound, but we’re counting the repetitions of the sound, not the words. The alliteration must make sense. The class will be the judge of whether an alliteration qualifies.

Reasons for using Alliteration more interest and appeal. Alliteration lends structure, flow, and beauty. rhythm slogans more memorable children’s stories more fun to read out loud. On the next slide, the alliterations are underlined and only in the first half. Figure out why the author chose to include alliterations only in the first half.

But while my head pounds And my stomach boils Deep in the heart of the haunted house Lies something sinister Secretly spreading venomous characters. Oblivious infants grow to Accept the insidious secret, Studying slavishly to attain fluency In the secret world of words. Never knowing the noxious Nature of the nuisance, No one notices The necessity of neutralization. I alone Desire the death of the dragon That is written word. Mine is the duty to Destroy the demon. But while my head pounds And my stomach boils With every glance at the beast, I have not the strength To lift the sword To slay the mighty pen. And when I safely Look again Upon the beastly face, I’ll see instead the Angelic alphabet That exists only in my head. What’s the difference between what’s being said in the first half and what’s being said in the second half? What do you think my purpose was in using alliterations only in the first half? The Written Word by Michelle Gering

Alliterative poem Directions: Create your own poem using at least three alliterations. The poem should be at least 25 words long and contain 3 clear sequences of alliteration for a total of at least 12 words that include alliteration. Underline or highlight the alliterations. Example, you could use 3 w words, then 5 s words, then 4 b words. The total number of words used in the alliterations is 12, and there are 3 alliterations. The only other requirement is that the poem contains at least 25 words. That means that you can have up to 13 words that aren’t in alliterations, even without adding extra words.
