Alliteration Examples The title Kubla Khan is the first example Line 25, “Five miles meandering with with a mazy motion” Line 16, “women wailing” Line 5, “a sunless sea”

Was this poem a part of a dream? This poem may be apart of a dream because one night while he was asleep he had a weird dream about the emperor Kubla Khan and that he was writing a poem and when he woke up, a few hours later he sat down to try to rewrite the poem of the dream.
