Hi Illusen,

Definition:
Alliteration: noun.
The use, especially in poetry, of the same sound or sounds, especially consonants, at the beginning of several words that are close together:

Here is a site you may find helpful

http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/literacy/PC_alit.htm

And this one is a vocabulary of alliterative words.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~in/Poet/VocAll.htm


This is an example of an alliteraton poem from http://www.poemsnpoetry.com/


Alliteration Poem


One wet wellington walked on water
Two tired travellers tried to talk
Three thick thorns thought thick thorn thoughts
Four frantic fish fought for flat fish fins
Five fit flies flew forward fast
Six slow snails saw swooping sparrows
Seven sneaky snakes slid slyly and silently
Eight eating earwigs eat an entire egg
Nine naughty nettles nick nice knockers
Ten tall tornadoes tear tiny tents.


Why not post your 1st draft on the site, and we'll see if we can help?

an alliteration poem is apoem that uses the same letter more than once. For example

"In the playground he pushes, pinches and pulls people,
He?s always naughty and nasty ? not nice to know.
He bounces boys back and forth
And burps and belches at bell-time!
See if you can make a few little verses like these."

Alliteration in a poem is like peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppersBig Smile [:D]

it is a poem that has the same letter at  begining of  every word

hope that has helped
