Alliteration

 (Malene Little)
Definition:  the repetition of consonant sounds in words near each other.

  • Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Eagle” contains “crag” and “crooked”  and are alliteration because they are separated by only one word and both have the “cr” sound.
  • “[W]atches” and “walls” in Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Eagle”  is alliteration because both begin with “w.”
  • N. Scott Momaday’s “Comparatives” contain alliteration in “babbling boats” because both begin with “b.”

        Fridays Flavours

        By Paul McCann

        Fridays foretaste frozen for freshness.
        Fine fast food .

        Fairly fried feasts from foreign fondues .
        Finger food.

        Fried flounder fetched from fish farms.
        Fortified fluids.

        Fantastic friends fingers falling for French fudges.

        Feeding full flavours flourishing from flowing flames .

        Friends forever
        Footsteps finding floors.
        Faceless frames

         

         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
