1. Alliteration

2. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sound in two or more neighboring words or syllables. Here are some examples: Dolly Doesn’t like Don The Wild Winds of Winter

3. Proper alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound. For example, never and knight are alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound. Ex: The Knight never rode to Norway However, even though tin and thank begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin with the same consonant sound. Ex: Thank you for my Tin ring

4. More Examples Clyde Clumsily Closed the Closet Angela and her Ants had a picnic of Anchovies Wally the Worm had a great Workout

5. Tongue Twisters are examples of alliterative poetry How much wood would a woodchuck chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck If a woodchuck would chuck wood.

7. Super Samson Simpson I am Super Samson Simpson, I'm superlatively strong, I like to carry elephants, I do it all day long, I pick up half a dozen and hoist them in the air, it's really somewhat simple, for I have strength to spare. My muscles are enormous, they bulge from top to toe, and when I carry elephants, they ripple to and fro, but I am not the strongest in the Simpson family, for when I carry elephants, my grandma carries me.
