Alliteration Poem
I am learning to write an alliteration poem.
Step 1: To write an alliteration poem, first pick a consonant. It can be any letter of the alphabet except for the vowels a, e, i, o, or u. For example, let’s say you choose the letter “B.”
Step 2: Think of as many words as you can that start with your letter and write them down. You’re going to need nouns, verbs, and adjectives, like this:
Nouns
- Banana
- Bee
- Bat
- Baseball
- Boat
Verbs
- Buy
- Be
- Bust
- Beat
Adjectives
- Black
- Bad
- Big
- Brilliant
- Broken
You may not use all of the words from your lists, and you may think of other words as you begin writing. That’s okay; this list is really just to help you get started.
Step 3: Form a sentence or two with some of your words, like this:
I bought a black banana,
And a broken baseball bat.
Step 4: See if you can add another sentence or two and a rhyme.
I bought a black banana,
And a broken baseball bat.
A burst balloon, a busted boat,
A beat-up bowler hat.
Step 5: Finally, see if you can come up with a reason for all of these things as a way to end your poems. Here’s what I thought of.
I bought a black banana,
And a broken baseball bat.
A burst balloon, a busted boat,
A beat-up bowler hat.I wasn’t being brainy, bright,
or brilliant, but you see,
My brain was boggled after
Being bitten by a bee.© 2020 Kenn Nesbitt’s Poetry4kids.com.
