Alliteration is the repetition of the consonant at the beginning of a word throughout a sentence. In the poem "Brilliant Basketball Bouncers" by Lee Emmett, there are many examples of alliteration. One example is the line, "no-body’s number knows;" he repeats the "n" sound throughout the line. Another example is the line, "fouling fellow forward flows;" he repeats the "f" sound. A third example is the line, "tackles tight team touching toes;" where he repeats the "t" sound.
My Poem:
Walter Williams washes wishing wells,
and sits on sticky sidewalks,
drinking diet Dr. Pepper,
and chomping on chocolate Cheerios,
when William Walters whacks him with his wallet.
