An alliteration poem is poem that uses the poetic device alliteration. To start off this poem choose a consonant (letters of the alphabet except a, e, i, o, u). Then brainstorm words that start with this letter. Break the brainstormed words into lists classified by part of speech. Make sure you have nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs that start with this letter. The more words you have, the easier it will be to write the alliteration poem. Write a poem using as many of the words from your brainstorm as possible keeping in mind that your poem must make sense and must be related to your theme or one of your subtopics. You must alliterate one letter within your poem. However, you may wish to alliterate several letters by changing the letter being alliterated after every stanza or after every line. I bought a brown banana, and a broken baseball bat. I brought a bursted balloon, a busted boat, And a beat-up bowlers hat.
Celebrating Christmas with Cheer
Colorful, cozy, and Christmassy,
Cheerfully carolling without care,
Children chasing candy canes crazily,
Candles creating a comforting flare.
Cinnamon cookies, sweet and spicy,
Cranberry cider, warmed to share,
Chestnuts crackling so enticingly,
Christmas tree with twinkling affair.
Cross-stitched cushions, creamy and cushy,
Charming cherubs and checkered square,
Cackling fireplace, crackling and bushy,
Cheery chatter, full of love and flair.
Counting blessings, cherishing family,
Crafting cards with creativity rare,
Cuddling close, cherishing each memory,
Christmas spirit, beyond compare.

5. You can choose to continue the poem, changing the alliterated letter after each stanza or line. For now, let's continue using the letter "B" for alliteration:
In the bustling bazaar, beneath a blue sky,
I balanced on a beam, reaching so high.
Below, the bustling crowd, a blur of faces,
As I bounced along, tracing joyous paces.
Breathing in the breeze, I behold a beautiful bay,
Where boats bob, bearing fishermen's day.
Brushing against the brambles, beside the bank,
I glimpse a bird, its feathers so grandly lank.
Within this bustling city, I find my bliss,
Boundlessly exploring and embracing the abyss.
Boldly navigating these boundless streets,
I leave my footsteps, forging vibrant feats.
