In alliteration, each important word in the line begins with the same letter. These poems end up being crazy, nonsense poems. Use your imagination and alliteration skills to write three words for each alphabet letter. If you want to, write longer alliteration phrases.
The first word should be an adjective (word describing a noun), followed by a noun (the subject - the person or thing), followed by a verb (showing the action that the subject does).
Use the lists below to help!
Good Luck!
