Alliteration Poems : 'Above the apothecary, the amazing amoeba alighted.' That's just an example of a special form of verse whereby identical consonants start each stressed syllable in a sentence. Not easy to write, but a pleasure to read. We think you'll just love this wonderful collection from the writers at My Word Wizard.
Alliteration Poems For Kids : This delightful collection continues our exploration of the alliteration genre, where the very same sound starts each stressed syllable in a poem. For example - "The dapper Dachshund danced until dawn." Bear in mind that just because the letters are the same doesn't make a line alliterative line.

Our writers have put together another amazing collection of words that rhyme, run and wreck! Remember, the sound of the letter at every stressed syllable must be the same to make a line alliterative. "Should" and "Sam" both start with the letter "S", but they don't have the same sound. "Knack" and "New" do not begin with the same letter, but they do alliterate because they share the same sound. Have fun!
