Alliteration Zealotry

Acting aloof Brooding bachelor Calling calmness Daring dreamer Easing endings Feeling frozen Growing grayer Hearing heralds Irking idlers Joining junctures Kindling karma Loving language Minding manners Nodding numbly Owing order Praying penance Quoting quippets Reading rulebooks Sharing sunshine Taming tigers Urging unions Viewing veilings Wielding writing Xeroxed x-rays Yielding yardage Zapping zephyrs

The challenge was to write a poem using alliteration to reveal things about myself. It was much easier said than done. This is the culmination of about two months of playing with words. I’m not happy with ‘X’ but there doesn’t seem to be a two syllable word starting with ‘X’ ending in ‘ing’.

My challenge to you is to do the same. You can use the ABCs or use the first letter of each line to spell a word or phrase.

If you write an alliteration poem, please come back and share a link in the comments.

Until next time, keep fighting.
